Here is the largest exhibition of military equipment, artillery, weapons and aircraft. Also there is concentrated a rare collection of German, Polish and Russian armored turrets which have been saved since the World War I.

The basic composition of this Museum is the so-called permanent fire positions – they are defensive emplacements. In the gallery “The Stalin Line” was revived a company sector, two machine-gun emplacements and an observation point. Also here was created a projection of the area, a complete system of trenches and buildings of that time. It should be noted that in the Soviet Union this system of defensive buildings was not called “The Stalin Line”. This name was given by the foreign press, as later it became clear, by the German one.
