The Military Museum in Belgrade was founded in 1878. The museum has over 3000 items including Roman swords and helmets, Greek helmets and daggers, Serbian heavy knight armors, axes, shields, helmets, crossbows, armoured gloves, Western medieval weapons, firearms, tanks, guns, howitzers, and armoured cars. The most recent exhibits feature artifacts from NATO actions against Yugoslavia in the 1990s, including parts of a US F-117 stealth aircraft that was downed by Yugoslav forces, NATO used cluster bomb shells, depleted uranium ammo, and graphite bombs.
