Even though the museum currently boasts a collection of over a million military items and artifacts, much of the initial connection was lost to various tragedies in the Museum's past. Still, the museum does an excellent job of chronologically depicting Romania's military history, right from the pre-Roman era days to its current involvement in the United Nations.

The periods covered include:

• Dacian kingdom
• Roman era
• Bulgarian Empire
• Ottoman empire
• Romanian rule 1877 onwards
• Allied operations during World War I
• Axis operations during World War II (with emphasis on Anti-semitic operations)
• Soviet command during World War II
• The Communist State

It's incredible how the museum manages to condense the relevance of so many artifacts and so much information in a way that is still engaging to the visitor. Exhibits include military uniforms, weapons, firearms, flags, medals, rail guns, missile launchers, cannons, airplanes, ancient battering rams and dioramas out of history.
