It affords visitors a rare opportunity to view the actual artifacts of our often-turbulent past. The museum is home to a reference library, archives and photographic archives and holds a large and unique collection of books, pamphlets, journals, archival documents, photographs, audio-visuals and maps, with friendly staff to assist information-seekers. Aircraft, armour, artillery, medical, naval and engineering equipment as well as small arms, medals, badges and uniforms are presented, bringing to light new information about specimens of bygone eras and preserving this knowledge for future generations. In fact, the museum houses some of the rarest military equipment in the world, notably the world-famous Messerschmitt ME262 jet aircraft of World War 2.
