The Australian Armour And Artillery Museum
The Australian Armour & Artillery Museum is a must for anyone interested in military history. From tanks from centuries ago to modern-day shells, this museum will captivate you with its vast assortment of vehicles that various countries around the world have used.
Situated at 2 Skyrail Drive, Smithfield, Cairns Area, Queensland 4878, The Australian Armour and Artillery Museum houses an extensive collection of vehicles from around the world, including some that are over one hundred years old. Visitors can learn about how these armours were used in World War I or II conflicts on our interactive displays for all ages.
This beautiful and unique museum is a great place to learn more about war history. Their collection includes examples from both world wars, emphasising WWII - vehicles like tanks or self-propelled guns that soldiers used in battle can be seen here for you to explore.
The Australian Armour and Artillery Museum is home to the world’s most extensive collection of Armoured Vehicles in existence. The museum has over 200 tanks, armoured cars (including many German), self-propelled guns; you name it! This means that visitors will be able to see some rarer pieces and get a good insight into what life was like for soldiers during World War II through their equipment display cases to tell stories about battles fought with these vehicles. At the same time, exhibits demonstrate how they used them on battlefields all around Europe.
With its constantly growing collection, the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum is always looking for more pieces to add flavour to every visitor’s experience.
On Saturday, the 6th of September 2014, the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum opened its doors to the public. This is one museum that you should not miss. The size alone makes this place worth checking out for any history buff or fan alike with outstanding exhibits on display from around Australia’s colony days through modern times, including weapons used in conflicts such as World War II, which makes it particularly interesting since we are currently living through another international conflict right now across Europe where people still use guns also called “arsenals.”
Visitors to the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum can enjoy a range of facilities, from family-friendly car parks to food outlets in case you get hungry on your tour. The museum also has an extensive gallery with many artifacts for those looking at them and history about Australia’s involvement overseas through its military engagements.
