The museum showcases exhibits and dioramas on military equipment, actions, and daily life in Norway and the Rogaland region through 6,000 artifacts displayed across 2,000 square meters.


Norsk bokmål: Foto fra Arquebus Krigshistorisk Museum i Førre utenfor Haugesund. Arquebus-museet har utstillinger og samlinger av militære og sivile gjenstander med tilknytning til det tysk-okkuperte Norge under andre verdenskrig 1940–1945.
  • Utstillingsfigurer i uniformer for utefronten, norske militære enheter i eksil under krigen: Det var mange som gjorde tjeneste i de norske styrkene som ble bygget opp i utlandet under krigen. Andre var med i utenlandske avdelinger. Her viser vi noen av uniformene.
    • 1 – Marineuniformen til Andreas Kolstø fra Haugesund siom tjenestegjorde i den britiske marinen under krigen
    • Norsk flagg fra lettbåten ombord på den norske jageren KNM «Stord» (H. Nor. M. S. «Stord», opprinnelig HMS «Success»), en britiskbygd flåtejager (S-Class destroyer) sjøsatt i 1943 og overført til Den kongelige norske marine i eksil
    • Avstandsmåler; vannflaske; svensk stålhjelm med påmalt «N»

med mer
Da det norske forsvaret ble nedkjempet i 1940, flyktet landets politiske og militære ledelse til Storbritannia, og forsvaret ble gjenoppbygd der. Samtidig foregikk det militær motstandskamp, det meste under Milorg, i det okkuperte Norge. Da freden kom i 1945 ble norske styrker satt inn i Norge igjen, hovedsakelig for å avvæpne tyske soldater og sikre krigsfangene.
