The Defense Museum
0
The Defense Museum is the main museum of the Norwegian Armed Forces, and has been housed in this old arsenal building at Akershus Fortress since 1860. The exhibitions show the history of the Norwegian armed forces, with an emphasis on the period from the 15th century to the present day. The exhibitions give an insight into the development of the Armed Forces and show how military thinking and the reality of war have been closely linked to technological, economic and political development. The museum has several thematic exhibitions and conveys information from all branches of defence. This is how you can, on a historical basis, take a stand on issues of defense history, and on the role of the Armed Forces today. The museum has many activities in and around the exhibitions for both young and old.
