Warfare museum opens in Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLIS -- A new museum dedicated to teaching 20th century military history and honoring veterans opened this weekend in Indianapolis.

The Museum of 20th Century Warfare had an open house Saturday at Fort Harrison State Park.

The museum will display artifacts and uniforms from all branches of the military from 1910 through Operation Desert Storm in Iraq. A model of the USS Indianapolis, which was sunk by Japanese torpedoes during World War II, also will be displayed. Veterans and uniformed re-enactors will be available to answer questions.

Entrance to the museum is free, but admission to the park is $5 for Indiana residents and $7 for out-of-state residents.
