Tournament Gallery information:
Our exciting new exhibition in the White Tower at the Royal Armouries, Tower of London, will be host to many of Henry VIII’s personal armours. Unfortunately, this will mean for the period of the exhibition, they will not be on display in the Tournament Gallery at the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds.
We apologise to visitors for any disruption to their experience of the Tournament Gallery during the period of the exhibition.
‘Henry VIII: Dressed to Kill’ is open to visitors 3 April 2009 – 17 January 2010.
The museum in Leeds is a multi-million pound purpose built building. It houses a large part of the national collection of arms and armour, and displays over 8500 objects throughout its five themed galleries.
There is lots for the family to do, we have falconry shows, horse shows, including real jousting with knights in armour doing combat in the Tiltyard.
After the shows why not visit the animals in the menagerie between the Tiltyard and Craft Court. In the Craft Court you can see our gunmaker, armourer and wardrobe mistress at work.
Entry to the museum is free. However, some events may be chargeable.
