Adult Groups
These sessions have been devised to last between 30-45 minutes and their aim is to be informative, yet light hearted.
An Introduction to the Museum
The Museum building isn’t really suited to giving guided tours, so why not book a short talk explaining how the NAM came into being, and how to find your way around.
Fighting Words
A fascinating talk using images and objects from the Collection to bring to life some of the words and phrases we use today that originated in the Army.
Animals at War
Discover how the Army has used pigeons, dogs, camels and even elephants in its long and colourful history.
From Hastings to Helmand
A thousand years in thirty minutes! Find out how the Army evolved from its medieval origins all the way through to the modern day, using images, kit, equipment and weaponry from the Museum’s extensive handling collection.
Youth Groups
Youth groups are welcome to book and visit the museum at any point. And sessions are available free of charge during the school holidays or for after school clubs. Topics covered by our sessions include:
Be Prepared
How did Scouts and Guides help on the home front in the Second World War?
Spies and Special Agents
Spend the day decoding information and finding secret messages to learn some of the skills secret agents need to survive.
You can also request any session from the primary or secondary list.
