Its displays illustrate the military history of Sweden, including its modern policy of neutrality, and of the Swedish Army.

The site has been used for military purposes since the middle of the 17th century, and the main depot of the artillery was located here for nearly 300 years.

The displays show the living conditions of the soldiers, their families and the general population during both wartime and peacetime.

They include life-size figures of soldiers of past centuries, as well as scenes of the major battles of Swedish forces, weapons, military clothes and other attributes of war.

The museum also houses a mini-exhibition about Raoul Wallenberg, the renowned Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of Jews from the Nazis during the final months of World War II.
