Museum of the Homeland War Karlovac

💛Located in Turanj on the outskirts of Karlovac, this open-air museum stands on the actual battlefield site of the 1991 Karlovac defense operations. 💛Now, over 40 preserved military artifacts stand silently among pine forests, creating a profoundly moving outdoor exhibition. 💎Museum Highlights: 🎖️ Tank Graveyard: A dozen destroyed Yugoslav People's Army tanks and armored vehicles remain exactly as found, with visible bullet holes and scorch marks 🪖 Trench System: An intact network of defensive fortifications where visitors can enter underground bunkers to experience a soldier's perspective 📜 Story Wall: Displays wartime diaries and photographs from civilians and soldiers, including a particularly heartbreaking crayon drawing by a little girl titled "The Day My Home Was Bombed" 💎The museum's "Veteran-Led Tours" are highly recommended, where survivors personally share stories behind each exhibit. 💫At sunset, sunlight filtering through pine branches onto rusting metal adds profound historical poignancy. #WarHistory #CroatianMemory #OpenAirMuseum #MilitaryHeritage
