Tucked away on a side street not far from the main railway station, the Military Museum is housed in a former officers' college, built in 1885. Popular with older children, the most interesting sections of the museum include a range of military hardware (missiles, helicopters and tanks) as well as an excellent display that focuses on the army's role during the revolution. Not to be missed is the
Soyuz-40 capsule in which Dumitru Prunariu became the first - and so far only - Romanian in space, in May 1981. Sadly, no captions anywhere in the museum are in English.
Admission 5.00 lei, children, students 2.50 lei.
