I don't think it's not well know outside Switzerland. Here you can see a photogallery:

nice photo collection

I took an little tour at the website of the museum

The impression I have, is that it is somehow an special museum

Apparently they only show non-motorized military equipment, from the middle age's to +/- 1950's ??

Being hosted inside the original building of 17th century arsenal make it a special place.

It's an interesting collection, inside fascinating place, located in a cute town.

Yes, you are right.

Up to a few years ago they had a tank too, a very good one. The only Pz 39 still running with an original gasoline engine:

There are no vehicles, and the artillery lacks space, since it must stay in the ground floor, other floors would not stand the weight.
