Situated within the imposing Artillery Barracks, this little museum pulls out the big guns, literally. Howitzers and tanks line up outside, while inside you'll find cabinets full of uniforms and medals. The WWI galleries were completely redeveloped for the centenary of the war in 2014. Photo ID is required at entry.
