Visitors on arrival are greeted with a hall called the Hall of Butterflies which is dedicated to martyrs and victims of the war and filled with personal belongings found on the various battlefields.

Outside the museum, a collection of domestically-manufactured armaments such as rockets, tanks, and artillery pieces is on show.

The complex has vast garden areas, water features, and children’s play areas as well.
