Located at Härad along the E20 eight kilometres west of Strängnäs, Arsenalen is Sweden’s national military vehicle museum, building on the armoured heritage of the Södermanland Regiment P 10 in Strängnäs.

From the m/21 tank to the S-Tank

Inside the main exhibition hall, vehicle engineering is traced from the 1918 m/21 tank through Second World War and Cold War designs such as the turretless Stridsvagn 103 (S-Tank) up to modern tracked and wheeled vehicles.

Exhibits place the machines in their historical and human context with uniforms, communications gear, interactive family stations, and a collection of historic military musical instruments.

Opening hours, café and family activities

Arsenalen is open year-round with a café, museum shop, and step-free access. During school holidays and summer weekends, live outdoor vehicle demonstrations take place on the museum arena.
