Situated in the Hotel des Invalides, this museum is dedicated to military history from the Stone Age to the end of World War II. Commemorative objects are displayed in two buildings: the Orient and the Occident. Besides armour and weapons, the collection of swords, Chinese and Japanese war costumes and Napoleons mementos are all quite remarkable. There is also the Emperors campaign tent as well as a reproduction of the room he died in, while in exile. Admission: EUR6; free for children 12 and younger.

Loricat's rating:

"This museum is, by rights, a slightly overwhelming array of the tools of warfare. Room after fascinating room of armour and weapons – the most interesting being the old armoury, with the shelf upon shelf of weapons for the garrison. Part of the Paris Museum Pass, you see this museum at the same time you see the 3 or 4 others at Les Invalides (including Napoleon’s tomb)...then you’re ready for a good stiff drink! "
