The NRA National Firearms Museum consists of 15 galleries comprised of 85 exhibit cases housing 3,000 firearms in a 15,000 square foot facility. The Museum details and examines the nearly 700-year history of firearms with a special emphasis on firearms, freedom and the American experience. The firearms tell the stories of how they were used to provide security and sustenance to the early colonists, how they were used to secure American freedom and independence and have been used ever since to maintain and preserve those liberties. Within the galleries are also tales of exploration, manufacturing, competition, hunting and recreational shooting sports.
