National Army Museum

The National Army Museum sits on the edge of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, occupying a site that was once the location of the hospital's old infirmary. It functions as the primary repository for the history of the British Army, tracing its evolution from the English Civil Wars of the seventeenth century to the present day. Unlike other institutions that focus on specific wars or branches of service, this museum seeks to capture the entire span of the army's role in shaping both British and global history. It holds a vast collection of over one million items, ranging from the personal letters of soldiers to large-scale military equipment.
