28 May 2025: The Museum is delighted to announce a new exhibition featuring over 100 works of art charting the changing attitudes to the military during the 19th century.
Colours have been the focus of some of the most bitter fighting and magnificent acts of heroism in British Army history. Soldiers often fought to the last to preserve them in battle, and they continue to hold totemic significance for regiments today.
Most of the objects held by the National Army Museum are in public ownership because of the generosity of individuals or organisations who have donated them.
The Collections Development Policy will be published and reviewed from time to time, at least once every five years. This Policy supersedes and cancels all earlier and existing policies, practices and customs.
