Museum of Military History

Good place to spend the day even with younger ones. Family ticket 7 eur. Great collection of military equipment and vehicles. A bit of a pity that the restaurant isn't working anymore , so take something with you or eat before.

Free parking on premises by the way

Arguably the greatest military history museum I’ve ever been to. Starting with the decommissioned military vehicles (tanks, boats, jets, helicopters & troop transporters) outside, absolute gems. Inside they’ve got 4 levels of genuine artefacts all meticulously dated, labeled and described in both German & English. I’d recommend putting aside a whole day for this wonderful building if you really want to immerse yourself in the history. The team at this museum are serious about everything Military History with an emphasis on German & Soviet aspects. Entry is only €5 for the main exhibition which will easily entertain the most avid enthusiasts for hours on end, not to mention they have a free evening session from 6-9pm on Mondays.

I was there to early to go inside, but even outside is nice piece of army vehicles. Need to come back to see what is inside. Definitely worth to visit if you are around. And the carpark on the street in free so no worries.

Highly recommended museum, fair entrance fee.
It's big, and includes many historical war object, pictures, statues and more.
It's a great opportunity for taking a lots of good pictures.
The place is clean and well maintained.

I read some other reviews and yes. It is an Incredible museus. I just wish I had more time as I was only able to see the chronological part( the difference wars) and I couldn't check othe other galleries
Neither the collection of vehicles outside the museums and the other building dedicated to the cols war. You need at least 3 hours for this museum. I think if you like history, technology or both. Make yourself a favour and cone and check it out.

Great place for learning history. The building itself is quite storage for me, because in several places I had a fear of heights when looked down. So, if you have a similar fear, don't look down. I was also surprised that the museum shop sells only books, but it's probably the best solution. I liked the reading corners on different floors. Some books were really interesting. I'm sure that everybody will find smith interesting for them in this museum. It's definitely worth visiting.

Hands down one of the best museums I have visited. We were able to leave our luggage at the cloakroom (there are also lockers) where it is staffed. Tickets cost €5 for adults which I think is underpriced for whats offered. The museum is generally separated into two parts. One part which chronologically shows the events before, during and after the world wars. The other part dives into more general topics such as the technology, animals, memories of war.

The top floor is a viewing platform which gives you an amazing view of Dresden and provide some information of the bombing in 1945.

Throughout the museum, there are staff located on each floor who you can ask questions to regarding the exhibits. They are very knowledgeable and makes understanding what is displayed a lot easier.

The museum itself is huge and consist of 4 floors and also some tanks, cars, and vessels on the ground floor for viewing. I would definitely recommend reserving at least three hours to see everything.

Although I came for the Christmas markets I would say this museum is a must visit for everyone visiting Dresden. You can easily reach the museum with trams 3, 7 from the city centre.

Great museum. So much to see and very cool if you are interested in military history. The museum covers quite a long period of military history, not just WWII.

Plan at least 2-3 hours if you really want to see everything even just briefly. Price is also not bad for the amount of history on display.

The Dresden Museum is Germany’s largest Military Museum. It has a corridor prior to 1914 (WWI) 1914-1945 (WWI & WWII) 1945 to Present. This museum is for the Historical Enthusiast. There is English translation throughout the museum.

Very well done and organized, lots of information, nice staff. Entry is 5€ for adults, including storage of jackets and backpack which u cannot take inside.

Plan 50-60% for the time for the ground and first for floor, floor 2-4 you will have much less exposition pieces and history information.

There is a bar too, unfortunately without the famous "Eierschegge" but delicious other food (cakes, Brezel wraps and warm plates) for reasonable prices!

Definitely worth a visit! If you want to see everything in details, planning at least 3 hours for the visit will be necessary. It is really a big museum with 4 floors and a lot of things to see.

One significant museum in Dresden. The focus of the exhibitions is on people and the question of the causes and consequences of war and violence. Museum is big, You starting with history and at the end you are reaching to today. I liked tha there are different aspects of military history. Like animals in war, literature, music, games in war and so on. Of course there are plenty different technics, but its not dominating. A lot to watch. 2 hours must reserv, when you plan to visit. In museum is also restaurant, so you can eat there.

Take.a day and learn so much about military history! Plan the whole day as there is so much to see and read! I wish the font was just a bit bigger for my older eyes. The information given is very well written with displays that will impress and educate!

Very beautiful museum building and grounds. Nice collection of tanks, armour and guns outside too. Staff is very helpfull and very polite, such a difference compared to their Berlin-Gatow location.

I don't like museums, but this one is so inviting from the outside. It is interesting to just look at it and drink coffee on the steps. Anyway, if you have a few days in Dresden - this is an interesting place for a second day.

This is a really well designed and interestingly presented museum. Old Fritz would have been delighted if he had seen his over-sized portrait in the entrance hall. Everything is really very well presented and you have the feeling that it is being offered quite an objective review of history.
YesI was most interested in the Weimar Republic and the time of the First World War, the Second World War and the time after it was extremely interesting and a top recommendation.

Extreamly large museum, spent 3 hours there only to see about 20% of it. Study the leaflet before going in, you have to plan the visit as there are two routes to take. I have to go again. The outside exposition is free to visit, just walk around freely.

Fantastic museum! A very large and detailed exposition. Expect that you may not have time to see the entire exhibition in one visit. This place is a must-see!

Good museum covering warfare and Germany through the ages. Most displays are in both German and English. The cafeteria is also very good. Don't forget to checkout the vehicles they have on display outside.

Great for all history lovers. Very rich content, with well designed themes. Was blown away at the perspective of how the military shaped the course of the wars, post war and into modern Germany.
I spent 3 hours there and it wasn't enough. Will be back for more
