you might have a look at the following web sites, the all tend to be
military as I am with the Canadian War Museum, the national military museum
in Canada. They all tend to be strong on education, and have virtual tours
and educational programs. As due to the nature of our intitutions we are
always trying to educate the public on a rather "non-polically correct"
topic - the military and conflict.

Hope you find something of use on these sites
Good Luck
