The Preparedness Museum was inaugurated on June 30, 1997, and since its inauguration has been Sweden's only museum in an underground facility built during World War II, Batteri Helsingborg. The Emergency Museum's exhibitions are located both above and below ground, in Batteri Hälsingborg's underground buildings and in buildings erected for museum operations.

The aircraft hangar

In the aircraft hangar you will find the museum shop with, among other things, A Swedish Tiger, the Christmas cookbook, etc. This is also where the Preparedness Museum's dining room is located. In the air hangar, temporary exhibitions with different focus are shown, both on the Second World War 1939 – 1945 and on the Cold War era 1946 – 1990. In the exhibitions, you can take part in history in everyday life and in readiness, with a display of everyday objects, army equipment and civil defense equipment . Currently (2023) the exhibition Christmas food is on display, about the food and everyday life during the years of readiness 1939 - 45. In the air hangar there is also a smaller uniform history exhibition comprising a period cavalcade of uniforms, from the year 1886 to the year 1943.

The cannon hall

In the cannon hall, located next to the aircraft hangar, larger equipment is displayed, such as Sweden's largest mobile cannon of all time, 21 cm cannon m/1942, tanks, vehicles, etc. Here you can also see parts of the coastal artillery's equipment during the entire period Sweden had coastal artillery as its own defense branch, from 1902 to 2000. Battery Helsingborg was a coastal artillery facility and you will also find larger equipment that belonged to the facility together with equipment that was used in the defense of Skåne from the time of the First World War until the end of the Cold War.

The Armed Forces Museum's weapons history collection has been built up in Batteri Helsingborg's once nuclear-safe combat command center. The weapons history collection includes both Swedish military firearms used from the beginning of the 19th century until today, as well as foreign military firearms used during both the First and Second World Wars and during the Cold War era. The weapons history collection also includes cannons and pieces, used from the middle of the 17th century until the end of the 20th century. Larger equipment included in the weapons history collection is displayed in the Cannon Hall. In the battle command center there is also a uniform historical exhibition, a cinema with partial furnishings from 1941, history and exhibitions about Sweden's defense and, of course, exhibitions also about Battery Hälsingborg.

Crew barracks of the same type were exported after the war from Sweden to countries in Europe whose buildings were destroyed during the Second World War.
