Heralds' Museum, Heraldry museum in Tower of London, England
The Heralds' Museum presented displays of coats of arms, ceremonial regalia, and historical documents within the Waterloo Barracks at the Tower of London.
Sir Anthony Wagner, who served as Garter Principal King of Arms, initiated the museum's creation to showcase the College of Arms' collection during the 1980s.
The museum exhibited items related to English heraldic traditions, including formal records, emblems, and symbols representing families and institutions throughout British history.
Admission to the Heralds' Museum came included with the Tower of London entry ticket, and the facility operated exclusively during summer months.
Peter Spurrier managed the curatorial duties while John Brooke-Little directed the museum's operations until its closure following Royal Palaces reorganization.
