Founded in 1953, The Army Museum is a private, non-profit institution dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Atlantic Canada's military heritage. Artifacts relating to the British, Canadian Regular Force and Militia presence and the role these units played in the development of the British Empire and post-second World War alliances are the focus of the Museum's displays.

Drawing from a collection of more than 70,000 artifacts, the visual interpretation of military artifacts reflects facets of military and "Home Front" service of the soldier. Presentation of non-Commonwealth military arms and equipment reflect the parallel developments of allied and opposing military forces.

Located on the second floor of the historic Cavalier Building, the Museum has been accommodated within the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site since its establishment and is a popular and highly regarded attraction at the Citadel. The Army Museum is a member of the Organization of Military Museums of Canada and operates with the assistance of the Nova Scotia Museum and Parks Canada.
