Athens War Museum is the largest military history museum in Greece, located on Rizari Street in Athens. It houses Greek military relics and documents the numerous conflicts in which the Greek nation took part throughout the centuries. In addition, there are exhibitions of weapon artefacts on 4 distinct floors and weaponry from other ancient civilizations such as Ancient China and Japan on display.
A must-see attraction in the museum is the lightboard map showcasing how a fire beacon was used to transmit the news of the Trojan War. The museum also has an exterior area that is dedicated to heavy artillery and military aircrafts used by the Greek Air Force, which can be visited without entering the museum. Opened in 1964, the War Museum now has branches in different parts of Greece, including Crete and Peloponnese.
