WELCOME to the Royal Armouries in the Tower of London. This is now the seventh century in which visitors have come to enjoy and marvel at our collections here. We who work in the Armouries are proud of our long association with the Tower of London, and proud of the work, both for the Armouries as a working arsenal and as a growing museum, that our predecessors have done here. With the move of those parts of the collection not related to the Tower of London to our new museum in Leeds we have been able completely to redisplay what has remained to tell the story of the development here of the oldest museum in Britain. It is a fascinating, sometimes surprising story, told with some superb and often beautiful objects. We hope you enjoy both your visit to our museum in the Tower, and this memento of it.
