Royal Armouries Museum

The National Collection of Arms and Armour is on exhibit in the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. The Tower of London, its original home, Fort Nelson, Hampshire, for the display of the National Collection of Artillery, and permanent galleries within the Frazier History Museum in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, are all part of the Royal Armouries network of museums. The Department for Culture, Media, and Sport sponsors the Royal Armouries, which is a non-departmental public entity.

The Royal Armouries Museum is a purpose-built museum in Leeds Dock that opened in 1996 for £42.5 million. The Royal Armouries' collection was originally on display or in storage at the Tower of London, where it still has a presence with exhibits in the White Tower. Entry is free, as it is at all UK National Museums, however certainly added attractions are not.
