The Army Museum is located at the heart of the Hôtel National des Invalides, where treasures from antiquity to World War II are housed. Created in 1905, this military museum has the third biggest collection of old weapons and armor in the world. It also shelters small artillery models and a unique set of Napoleon's 19th-century military items. The facilities themselves are a war monument that both commemorates the generations of war veterans who were housed within the walls of the complex and also gives the museum its memorable façade. Behind this contiguous façade, however, are seven distinct museum spaces - each of which is dedicated to a particular point in France's military history.
