Royal Green Jackets Museum, Military museum at Peninsula Barracks, Winchester, England
The Royal Green Jackets Museum is a military museum in Winchester displaying collections of uniforms, weapons, medals, and equipment from three combined British infantry regiments. The exhibition spans multiple rooms with detailed displays that document how these regiments and their gear evolved over two centuries.
The museum was founded in 1989 to preserve the heritage of three regiments with origins tracing back to the 18th century that eventually merged into one unit. These regiments fought in major conflicts over generations, and their stories shape what is displayed today.
The museum displays medals and personal items from soldiers who served across two centuries of British military history. The collection reveals stories of the people behind the uniforms and what they experienced in combat.
Plan to spend enough time wandering through the different exhibition areas, as there is substantial material to explore at your own pace. The museum sits within Peninsula Barracks and is straightforward to navigate on foot, with clear pathways throughout the grounds.
A large diorama within the museum recreates the Battle of Waterloo using hundreds of miniature figures positioned to show how troops moved and fought that day. Many visitors spend considerable time studying this detailed display to understand the battle's layout and tactics.
