  • The Battle of Berlin diorama recreates the Soviet Assault on Berlin in April-May 1945, symbolizing the end of the Third Reich. Set in wartime Berlin in 1945, the scene depicts urban ruins with mannequins in period uniforms among the bricks and debris, accompanied by weapons, military equipment, and artifacts representing Nazi Germany's armed forces (Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS, etc.) and the Soviet Union's Red Army, etc.:
    • German ammunition boxes (wooden munition transport crates)
    • German field telephone wire (Feldfernsprecher 33)
    • German Stahlhelm steel helmet on top of a Mauser Karabiner 98k rifle
    • PM M1910 (Pulyemyot Maksima, "Maxim's machine gun" Model 1910), a Russian heavy machine gun.
    • Two WWII Soviet Red Army Medium Tank T-34 (T-34-85 Ural Tank Factory No. 183). The redesigned T-34/85 introduced in 1944 was equipped with an 85-millimeter cannon, had a crew of five and weighed 32 tons. During World War II, "ПОБЕДА" ('VICTORY') was a significant term associated with the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany, often inscribed on the tanks.
    • Russian soldiers of the Red Army in field uniforms, with SSh-40 steel helmet, telogreika padded jacket, PPS 43 submachine gun, riding breeches, side cap (pilotka), officer's peaked cap, and TSH-4 tank crew helmet, etc.
The Arquebus War Museum highlights Nazi Germany's occupation of Norway during the Second World War from 1940 to 1945. 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.
