In the US, 2 places come to mind.
1. National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida. Over 150 aircraft, lovingly restored and open for the public to oggle and touch. The tour guides even encourage it. Has an amazing amount of rare craft, including one of the few surviving Japanese Zeros. Also, it's free and near one of the best beaches in Florida.
2. Patriots Point in Charleston, South Carolina. This is really the best one in my opinion. There's 3 museum ships with self guided tours: USS Yorktown (carrier), USS Laffey (destroyer) and USS Clamagore (cold war sub). The ships are open and restored, with exhibits and setups of how they actually looked in the day. There's also a ferry to Fort Sumter, and a Vietnam war exhibit that I didn't have time to see. Visit it before the damn sub rusts apart, it is a horrifying experience to tour.
If you're in Indianapolis, see the Indiana War Memorial Museum. It's not as impressive, but its the best we've got.

The cavalry museum in Saumur, France is dedicated entirely to the military horse and its rider.

Yurop cause im a yuropoor.
WTS Koblens because all of the german prototype vehicles and small arms, and the 6 or 7 G11 prototypes up for display.
With regards to aesthetic it’s the NMM Soesterberg. The entire museum is practically a greenhouse with a non-translucent roof suspended by only a small central tower. With regards to their collections it’s a mix between british, merican and french stuff with the odd indigenous design. They’re running a decently sized soviet exhibit until the end of the year though. Pic related.

Definitely agree on NAS Pensacola. That place is awesome. I went camping on the Yorktown when I was in Cub Scouts. Don’t remember a ton from it, but we got to sleep in the original bunk rooms, which was pretty neat.

Patriots point is awesome. USS North Carolina a few hours north is a great museum too

National Museum of the USAF in Dayton, OH is worth a mention. Never been, but it’s apparently one of the best aircraft museums in the world. They even have an XB-70.

That’s from one of the war museums in Moscow, right?
