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.

Special Notice

In Autumn 2008 the Museum began a major re-organisation of its extensive reserve collection. This means that many of the exhibits currently stored offsite are to be moved to Firepower and will have to be stored in buildings and areas previously open to the public. During this period of re-organisation, expected to last until the end of June 2010, it will not be possible for visitors to access the Museum's Cold War Gallery.

The Museum apologises to visitors for this temporary inconvenience which will ultimately lead to even more comprehensive displays of our world-class exhibits going on show to our visitors.


CAR PARKING SPECIAL NOTICE

Due to the ongoing redevelopment of the Royal Arsenal, the former Museum car park has now closed.

The car park for Museum visitors is now the pay and display car park at the southern edge of the Royal Arsenal, located at the Royal Arsenal Plumstead Road entrance, opposite Beresford Square. The Museum is just a short walk from this car park. For parking advice please call 020 8855 7755.
