Step into the colourful world of medieval jousts and knightly competitions. Here you’ll find shining suits of armour, heavy lances, and decorated helmets once used in tournaments. These contests weren’t just battles for honour – they were also big social events, drawing crowds to watch knights show off their skill and bravery. 

Discover how weapons have shaped the history of war, from ancient times to the modern age. The gallery shows swords, crossbows, muskets, and even machine guns, tracing the evolution of combat technology. You’ll learn how armies prepared for battle, how strategy developed, and how warfare changed societies. 

Travel across Asia through arms and armour. See Japanese samurai swords and armour, ornate Indian shields, and even a life-sized model of an armoured war elephant. The gallery highlights not just the power of these weapons, but also their artistry and cultural meaning. 

Learn how ordinary people protected themselves in times of danger. From small pistols and pocket daggers to unusual concealed weapons like sword-canes, this gallery shows the many clever ways people stayed safe in uncertain times. 

One of the most striking sights in the museum, this tower is filled with thousands of swords, pikes, and muskets arranged in dramatic patterns up the walls. It’s a breathtaking display and the perfect spot for group photos, symbolising the scale of the museum’s collection. 

Outside the museum, the arena brings history to life with exciting live performances. You might see armoured knights jousting on horseback, expert archers hitting targets, or swordsmen demonstrating medieval combat techniques. It’s an unforgettable way to experience history in action.
