Tournament

Tournament Gallery information:
Our exciting new exhibition in the White Tower at the Royal Armouries, Tower of London, will be host to many of Henry VIII’s personal armours. Unfortunately, this will mean for the period of the exhibition, they will not be on display in the Tournament Gallery at the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds.
We apologise to visitors for any disruption to their experience of the Tournament Gallery during the period of the exhibition.
‘Henry VIII: Dressed to Kill’ is open to visitors 3 April 2009 – 17 January 2010.
Objects are expected to return and be on display once more by the end of May 2010.

The Tournament gallery presents the world of the medieval tournament.
