Louisville, Kentucky
In 2004 the Royal Armouries opened its newest museum thanks to a unique collaboration with the Frazier International History Museum.
The Frazier Museum is the first cultural arts institution in the world dedicated to telling the complete American story, including its British and European roots. It is also the first time a UK National Museum has opened a ‘branch’ in the USA.
The Royal Armouries occupies the entire third floor of the Frazier Museum. It presents the remarkable history of the British Isles, from 1066 to the early 1900s, through inspired narrative, state-of-the art audio visual and multi-media displays, dramatic life-sized tableaux and a collection of nearly 400 artefacts never previously displayed together.
