Summary/Abstract: One of the prestigious cultural institutions with an important role in promoting the historical-military traditions of the Romanian Armed Forces is “King Ferdinand I” National Military Museum. Even if the preoccupation in collecting military historical artefacts began in the middle of the 19th century, a military museum was to be created as an independent institution only in 1923. This paper makes a short presentation of the metamorphoses of this institution during 90 years of existence. Nowadays, the museum has a distinct place in the national cultural landscape, by offering to specialists as well as to the large public an interesting and different view on the military history. The efforts of the National Military Museum in the custody and popularisation of Romanian military traditions have continuously benefited from the support and cooperation of similar cultural institutions within the Romanian Armed Forces.
