Emblems
Heir to the Artillery Museum, the Artillery Department of the Musée de l'Armée gathers two types of objects: life-size canons and scale models.
   
Made sacred by every army in the world, the emblems (flags, standards, pennants …) are the symbols of belonging to a regiment or a country. They have a strong emotional power for soldiers and veterans.
