Ditto the suggestion to visit the National Museum of the Pacific War (Nimitz Museum) at Fredericksburg TX -- great location, great food, friendly folks.
The National Museum of the United States Air Force at Dayton OH can easily consume two full days of viewing. It changes on an almost monthly basis as new or reworked exhibits appear. They're slowly gettin' 'round to completing the missile stuff that I used to use -- their Minuteman III is still in rehab but the displays are endless.
I visited the Imperial War Museum at Bedlam (London). It's very good but the aircraft displays are out at Duxford, in a wonderful, new gallery devoted to the 8th Air Force and follow-on USAF machines.
The Imperial Armories at Vienna, Austria are worth a look. The most wonderful example of a katana (Japanese sword of the samurai) I have ever seen is there, along with thousands of firearms, armor, and edge weapons.
