Weapons collection

The weapons collection contains both firearms and edged weapons in use in Slovenia during the 20th century. A vast majority of the collection consists of small arms used during the World War's, and by the Yugoslav People's Army. Among the most numerous weapons of mass production, we can also find some unique items and various modifications from the partisan workshops, and objects with an interesting history. Larger objects include the US M3A3 Stuart tank and a collection of cannons, some of which are unique specimens in Slovenia.
