This museum is certainly worth a visit if you are in the vicinity. The primary exhibits and projections are engaging, and they showcase artifacts from various conflicts, primarily from the past century. Among the notable highlights are the Matilda II tank and the Harrier VTOL jet.

Great museum and free. Very informative and worth an hour of your time. It's near other attractions and right on one of the Tram/Train lines so easy to get to from the city centre. Lovely cafe and shop as well.
