National Army Museum

The National Army Museum's five dynamic galleries show thousands of objects from across our collections. They tell a huge range of stories from the Army's history. Visitors can learn how to drum a battle command, or experience taking charge of a tank! The galleries offer many perspectives, addressing fundamental questions such as 'Why do we have an Army?', examining the Army's relationship with society, and showing how it has touched virtually every part of the world. They also reveal individual experiences of life as a soldier, including the conflicts they have fought in. The museum is a fun, interactive space for all the family. Through our collections we preserve and share stories of ordinary people with extraordinary responsibilities, exploring the role of the Army and its relevance today.
