Housed in a former barrack in the castle district, this is both a museum and a working research institute. With Hungary`s long history comes the fact of many wars and revolutions, making the military a significant institution. Here you can see uniforms and regalia, tracing the military history of Hungary from the original Magyar conquest in the 9th century. Outside the museum, along the castle wall, you can find old cannons and artillery that can be viewed up close. The museum is free to enter, but there is a fee for picture taking and you may arrange a guided tour in English, German, or Hungarian for a small fee as well.
