The Instituto de Historia Y Cultura Militar had these two boxes as you first entered. Each seat was on a swivel and came with a Virtual Reality (VR) headset that gave a tour of the museum in your choice of three languages. Word of caution. VR is not for everyone, Catherine felt slightly nauseated after viewing the presentation. I will have to bring my 360 degree camera to the armoury one day.   The Instituto de Historia Y Cultura Militar in Valencia, Spain had some great models of coastal fortifications. If anyone is interested, we could certainly find space for one on Yorke Island....     Of course the Instituto de Historia Y Cultura Militar in Valencia, Spain also featured artillery banners and uniforms. I've only got a photo of one of their early coastal artillery uniforms. Rather unique. Apologies for the quality of the photos. You'll just have to plan your own trip over to get a better view.    The Instituto de Historia Y Cultura Militar in Valencia, Spain featured an enviable collection of projectiles.    The Instituto de Historia Y Cultura Militar in Valencia, Spain holds a nice collection of ordnance. You might notice the M114 has a sight mount installed, unlike our 155mm-C1.

Have you ever wondered how many different types of grenades there are? The Instituto de Historia Y Cultura Militar in Valencia, Spain holds a rather large collection!
