Hands on History
A free interactive exhibition exploring 10 centuries of Tower history
Open every day on the top floor of the White Tower.
- Can you imagine wearing a medieval helmet into battle?
- Which weapon would you choose before facing the enemy?
- How far could you shoot a longbow?
Now you can find out for yourself!
We proudly invite you to get up-close and personal with history this summer at the world famous Tower of London.
Hands on History is an exciting new way to experience the past; this brand new exhibition gives you the chance to touch, feel and try on real arms and armour. At Hands on History there’s no such thing as ‘do not touch’.
PLEASE DO TOUCH!
Presented by the Royal Armouries and Historic Royal Palaces with the generous support of The History Channel and The Royal Mint.
- Entry to Hands on History is included in the Tower of London ticket price.
