    The largest museum of military history in France, and 1 of the leading ones in the world. The collections are presented chronologically from Antiquity to the end of WW2.

    This was probably the highlight of my visit to Paris. The chapel inside and the music they play in reverence to the fallen soldiers of France is moving. The historical armor collection is awesome.

    While Napoleon's tomb might be drawing the crowds the military and historical museums are well worth the effort. To appreciate it fully you'll have to reserve a whole day for this place. But worth it

    Very nice museum, just make sure it doesn't close while you're inside since it does take quite a long time to go through it.

    We stopped in on a rainy day. As two girly girls, we were not sure if we would enjoy the military objects, but we were entirely entranced.

    Mexicano: busca la propaganda anti-nazi mexicana de la 2a guerra mundial y el águila azteca desgarrando la bandera nazi. Nunca he visto algo así en México. Muy interesante.
