Description:
The museum of the military institute was created in 2002.

The collection consists of over 150 museum exhibits.

The main exhibit presents the Karabakh movement, the Karabakh battle,

the history of creation of the Military Institute and the Armenian

Army. The self-made weapons and ammunition used during the beginning

stages of the Artsakh battle by volunteer groups is displayed in a

special way. The model of the Republic of Armenia and the Nagorno

Karabakh Republic is placed in the center of the exhibit; it is powered

and illuminates the battlefields that played a decisive role during the

war.
