The MKE Weapon Industry Museum (Silah Sanayi Müzesi) operates under the General Directorate of MKE Silahsan Light Industry and Trade Inc. The museum first opened on July 15, 1990, and after being reorganized in a larger space, it reopened on November 2, 1993. Most of the artifacts in the museum were collected by the government from the people of the Black Sea Region during World War II, while some were sent from the weapons factory in Istanbul-Tophane for preservation.

Currently, 299 artifacts are on display, arranged in chronological order from the 14th century to the present day.
