The very best part of this museum is actually on the outside. The park surrounding it has a large number of weapons, including several tanks, a boat, dozens of mines, a converted war tramvy, and an entire submarine. During W.W.II several gigantic anti-air guns where stationed here. One has been fully restored. In the trenches where several soldiers lost their lives, a visitor now can see children jumping their bicycles.

This small two room museum, wrapped in Patriotic Soviet Red has many pictures, posters, and small weapons from the "great patriotic war".

Several large weapons such as tanks, planes and rockets flank this museum. The first visit to this museum we were told that a person visiting this museum must be part of a "collective" (group). No matter how much we offered to pay, they would not let us go inside, citing the price of electricity. The second time we visited the woman said she had to call her supervisor. Her supervisor was not in so we were asked to wait for a half hour. We declined.
