Love the Ordnance Museum. Grew up in the area and marveled at Tank Row many times as a kid on the drive in to Ruggles Golf Course.

They take great care of the exhibits on the museum grounds. If you get a close up look at that King Tiger, you can see where it was struck multiple times by our munitions and barely got scratched.

An army buddy of mine took me to the museum two weeks ago. What a cool place. Thanks to all the folks who toil in anonymity there making sure all the systems, weapons and assorted big boy toys work as expected.
