An insightful and educational day out, and all for free! Explore five galleries with over 4,500 objects on display in our purpose-built museum and discover how arms and armour have shaped history, art and culture through the ages. Experience live combat demonstrations taking place every day as our staff bring to life how historic armour and weapons were used. Highlights from the collection include: Henry VIII’s foot combat armour made for the grand tournament known as the Field of Cloth of Gold in 1520 A full-size all-metal elephant armour and tusk swords from the late 16th Century A remarkable mask termed the ‘Horned Helmet’ presented to Henry VIII in 1514 One of the most iconic sci-fi weapons of all time – the ‘pulse rifle’ from the classic 1986 Aliens film The Tula Garniture – an elegantly decorated set of weapons belonging to Empress of Russia Elizabeth Petrovna from 1752
