Visit

Visit Firepower, The Royal Artillery Museum and learn about the proud history of the Gunners.
We aim to give you an insight into artillery and enable you to understand the role that Gunners and their equipment have played in our Nation’s history. You will discover a mixture of artillery that has changed the nature of battle and affected the lives of many people.

The science of artillery and the human endeavours of Gunners make a fascinating story and one that you will follow from catapult to rocket, and from the battlefield to Crécy to the peacekeeping missions in Bosnia. Using the unique collections of the Regiment and its library and archives, this is the first time that this story can be told properly.
