The museum\'s collections cover the time period from antiquity until the 20th century.
The museum was established in 1905 in the prestigious setting of the Hôtel national des Invalides. It holds 500,000 artifacts, including weapons, armour, artillery, uniforms, emblems and paintings, exhibited in an area of 12,000 m². The permanent collections are organized into "historical collections", representing a chronological tour from ancient times through the end of World War II.
