can also confirm that the museum is closed at the moment. to my knowledge it should reopen on august 1st.
Under reconstruction in April till October 2017.
地鉄一号線 軍事博物館駅のすぐ近く。
訪問時は改装工事直前で大ホールにあるはずの軍事車両などが外に出されていた。お土産屋では軍用レーションが売っている。
日本からの贈り物が展示されていることが意外だった。
原爆・水爆・ICBMの模型が展示されているのはちょっと引いた。
As of 4 September 2016 museum is closed for renovations
It's directly accessible from exit B or A of the Military Museum metro station on line 1. Free admittance with passport. There is no upkeep of all the outside exhibits, everything is covered in dust. If you have not seen military artifacts up-close, then you can appreciate the size of the guns, canons, airplanes, and tanks. There is signage with simple English names but there's no further English text about the details. Some are positioned to far from the roped boundary to read. The main museum building is not accessible. Only the outside exhibits. It's a quick view of dusty military relics.
Great place to see and learn some about the military history of China. Worth the visit. Kids loved it.
Ok
