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.


Cold War Gallery Open Store Tour

The proposed opening of the Cold War Gallery Open Store Tour has had to be postponed.  So many new objects have been brought down to Firepower since the closing of our Rotunda facility that the cataloguing process is taking much longer than expected.  As a result the opening has had to be delayed until 2011. We are sorry for any disappointment this may cause but please bear with us - having seen the objects I can state that it will be well worth the wait.
