This collection was formerly on a nearby military base, and while well maintained, it was packed close together as the presenter notes.  It also requested special permission for visiting.  Apparently this new venue is open to the public.

It's a unique museum with a selection of rare Russian (Soviet), German, Japanese and even some UK and US Lend Lease Vehicles.   All of them are nicely restored, although you will note a few missing parts.

I will have to confess to not knowing there were so many Russian variations during the war.  As the video moves through the displays, you can see the progression of Russian tank design.

A very wide ranging selection of German vehicles.

 

As for the Japanese tanks, I've never seen so many in one location.  As the narrator notes, they were from early battles in 1939, and then later in 1945.

Wow, an incredible museum. I wonder how many of these tanks are still operational/running. Thanks for sharing these pictures, very impressive!
