Holy crap:

Inside The Army’s Spectacular, Hidden Treasure Room

Usually when a headline uses words like “spectacular,” you can bet that the one thing the subject of the article is NOT going to be is… “spectacular.” In this case, though… wow.

In short, it’s a vast warehouse with carefully and properly stored and cataloged goodies from  a magnificent weapons collection, to battlefield bits and pieces (clothing, drums, bugles, flags, etc.), to one hell of an art collection… including a bunch of Hitler Originals.

And you can’t get in to see *any* of it. Because it’s all in storage awaiting a museum whose construction has not been funded.

Lots of amazing photos and anigifs at the link.
