War Museums

War museums are state repositories with the recognized function of collection, conservation, and interpretation of artifacts for the public benefit. Most war museums specialize in war histories; many of them are organized around one country’s involvement in military conflicts in which that country participated. Often, they include permanent and temporary exhibits, which are organized thematically and/or arranged chronologically. Today, many war museums provide multilingual guided tours and print catalogues, maintain gift or book shops, and organize international conferences.
