5m 53s
While in Croatia for filming, we stopped in at the Homeland War Museum (Muzej Domovinskog Rata) in Karlovac. Built in the preserved ruins of the "Hotel California", it houses a small but pretty comprehensive collection of small arms form the Croatian Homeland War, in addition to many other artifacts that tell the story of the war. Outside is a small vehicle and artillery park, which really highlights the diverse origins of the weaponry used in the war. American, British, German, and Soviet equipment is mixed together, alongside three expedient Croatian APCs made from civilian vehicles.
If you are in Croatia, it is a museum well worth stopping to see. It's not large, but it does a good job telling the story of the war and showing a good variety of artifacts, including weapons. You can find the Museum's web site with more information at:
