Royal Artillery Museum

The Royal Artillery Museum exhibits military equipment from early cannons to modern artillery, with extensive collections of weapons and ammunition through different periods.

Founded in 1820 as a Repository of Military Machines by King George III, the museum started as a training facility for officers of the Royal Regiment of Artillery.

The museum holds connections to the Arsenal Football Club, which originated from the Royal Arsenal workers and maintained strong ties to military heritage.

Located in southeast London, the museum remained open until 2016, when its collections were placed in storage pending establishment of a new facility.

The museum collection features specialized artillery pieces from multiple centuries, including rare specimens from British military campaigns worldwide.
