Brussels Photo Gallery - Royal Military Museum
(Historic, Technical, and Arms and Armours Gallery)
The Royal Military Museum's history dates back to the 1910 World Expo, when an officer showcased about 900 objects from the country's military history. The collection was retained and put on display, moving into the north wing of the Jubilee palace in 1923.The Historic Gallery has a very old-school feel to it with cabinets after cabinets of artifacts from the 19th century onwards, including Belgium's participation in many overseas missions and conflicts. There are over 8000 items to explore. This section opened in 1923 amongst the museum's oldest exhibition areas, which has stayed pretty much that way until today. The Arms and Armour gallery's artifacts originate over a long period from the 6th to 18th centuries. They were used for warfare, hunting, and status symbols.
