Hey, this is going to become a list of firearms related museums across the world it’ll will be linked in the side bar.

I haven’t attended all, or even most, of these museums but the intention is to include museums that have a small arms collection. The museum may have a broader focus such as world history.

If there’s any museums you know comment them and I’ll add them below. This is and will likely always be an incomplete list.

If you don’t know any museums but you don’t see your country represented let me know and we’ll see if we can’t find one to add.

I don’t speak every language so that means I might have a hard time finding the official sites for some museums, if you manage to find one I didn’t let me know and I’ll change it.

    Thanks! I added the first two but for the sake of keeping the list short I’m going to try and limit the list to museums with a small arms collection. If I include every aviation, naval, or armor museum it’ll be a lot more work. But I haven’t been to Flygvapenmuseum, so if it does actually have at least a section dedicated to firearms or munitions I’ll add it.

    I did check out pictures of Flygvapenmuseum though and it looks very nice!
