Sandhurst: Members Excursion

Join us for a members-only day trip to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Uncover the origins of the National Army Museum and view the magnificent art on display in the Indian Army Memorial Room. 

Visit the world-renowned RMA Sandhurst, where Army officers have trained since 1802.

Following arrival, one of our curators, Anna Lavelle, will give a talk in the Indian Army Memorial Room (IAMR), with its magnificent displays of art from the National Army Museum's collections. Anna will discuss the stories behind the paintings and the work that went into their prominent display in the heart of Old College.

After lunch, curators of the Sandhurst Collection will give a guided tour of Old College and the surrounding buildings, taking in the Chapel and the Riding School - the original site of the National Army Museum.
