The collection is spread over 15 galleries, each of which is designed to represent a particular period in American history. There are several life-size dioramas which represent a rifle-makers shop, a WWI trench and a shelled town from Normandy, circa WWII. There is also a special exhibit which features the actual firearms used in various movies and TV shows.
