Today, the process of museumization and adaptation of monuments of defense and residential architecture for exhibition, cultural-artistic and cultural-educational functions continues. The development of a conceptual design for the historical interiors of these buildings actualizes the need to use weapons in the context of demonstrating compositions (military fittings) as components of an artistic image related to the function and history of these objects. The creation of interiors of these monuments in virtual and augmented reality is just beginning to gain popularity as a means of popularizing cultural heritage. From the point of view of the impact on human consciousness, digital virtual reality successfully competes with the impact of reality itself, and today's formation of the base of digital models of the past is the formation of national identity and cultural heritage in the future. Therefore, the relevance of developing a scientific basis for creating visualizations of interior spaces that will be not only attractive in artistic terms, but also have historical and cultural value is significantly increasing. Compositions of weapons elements can significantly increase the attractiveness and meaningfully fill historical interiors, provided that factors of artistic imagery and historical authenticity are taken into account when creating them. Therefore, the article highlights the main factors influencing the artistic and figurative quality of military compositions in the interior; develops a number of simple layout schemes that can be used as a basis for creating compositions of weapons elements for placement in the interiors of monuments of defensive and residential architecture; proposes a typology of approaches to the formation of military compositions in historical interiors; summarizes the basic principles of creating compositions of weapons. The experience of our research can be used to develop designs and graphic visualizations of museum premises based on castles, palaces, fortresses, etc., where, according to the plan, it is necessary to link the interior design with their residential or military past.
