Military Groups and Cadets
The Royal Armouries Museum currently displays over 8500 objects that tells real stories about the ways in which arms and armour have been used by our armed services.
To give your visit extra depth why not book a session held in the education centre. This will give your group the opportunity to get to grips with the kit, ephemera, weapons and armour of soldiers from previous generations.
Sessions can focus upon topics such as: the qualities of leadership, battlefield tactics or the experiences of soldiers during battles such as Towton, Waterloo or the Somme.
