Guards Museum

Museum Closed – In line with current government advice regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19) the museum is closed until further notice.

The Museum is committed to providing a safe and secure repository for artefacts belonging to the five regiments of Her Majesty’s Foot Guards. The museum strives to make these artefacts available for viewing by members of these regiments as well as by the general public.

The collection is primarily intended as an educational aid to help young Guardsmen learn about their regimental heritage and to show a wider audience the multi-faceted nature of their operational lives both in combat and on ceremonial duties.

Support the Museum

Creating a museum and maintaining a museum are two very different challenges. We receive considerable support from the Ministry of Defence in the form of premises and services and some assistance with staff costs, and for this we are extremely grateful. However, there are still significant sums to be found each year to allow us to keep our doors open to the public seven days a week.
