US Army Ordnance Museum

The Ordnance Museum has closed. All of its indoor artifacts, and many of its outdoor ones as well, have been shipped to Fort Lee, south of Richmond, Virginia, where a vast, all-indoor Ordnance Museum will open in 2012.

A number of the museum's hulking outdoor exhibits -- mostly tanks -- remain at their display field at Aberdeen Proving Ground, and will continue to be open to the public. As a consolation prize, a field of tanks is not such a bad thing....
