Swedish Artillery Museum

The Artillery Museum is located on the training area once used by the former Wendes Artillery Regiment. It houses the Army Museum collection of artillery pieces. All of the types of guns, howitzers, mortars and grenade launchers used by the Swedish army from the beginning of the 1700s are on display, together with artillery equipment such as gun carriages, harnesses, towing vehicles, radar and fire control equipment and ammunition.

The museum also works together with a military history display group that exercises with both horse-drawn and vehicle-towed artillery pieces wearing uniforms of the time. A museum annex is also planned for smaller parts of the collection in one of the old artillery barracks in the centre of Kristianstad. The museum will assume the overall responsibility for preserving the historical traditions of the Swedish Artillery.
