National Army Museum

This location is shown only to members

Come along on Saturday 4th February for a trip to the National Army Museum!

About the museum
Situated in Chelsea, the National Army Museum relates the overall history of the British Army, British colonial, imperial and commonwealth forces and the British Indian Army as a whole from 1066 to the present and its effects on national and international history.

The museum also has an extensive art gallery, which includes a selection of portraits, battle scenes and domestic interiors, horse portraits and camp scenes, dating from 1630 to 2000, by some of Britain’s greatest artists.

Also in the museum is a special exhibition titled; 'War Horse: Fact & Fiction' which is a hands-on interactive exhibition brought to life using exclusive material from the acclaimed stage production by the National Theatre.  The touching 'real life' stories of the horses and men who depended on them will be illustrated through the Museum's rich collection encouraging visitors to think about the millions of War Horses who have supported the British Army across time.

The museum has free entry!


Afterwards, we will head to a local pub or bar for a chat over a drink.  Please indicate when you RSVP whether you wish to attend at 1:15pm or 2:15pm.

After the museum visit, we will be heading to see the film 'War Horse' at Cineworld Fulham Road.  The film starts at 8:15pm.


If you can't see us outside the station, please call.

Lookout for the group sign -



 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope to see you there.

    Very good undiscovered museum and the War Horse exhibition was excellent. Watching the brilliant War Horse at the cinema in the evening made a fitting end to the day.

    I arrived 45 minutes late to the tube station, but walked along to the museum anyway. Confident I would eventually find someone, I did, got a map to the pub, and made some new friends! Really enjoyed visiting a museum I wouldn't have visited on my own.

    I concentrated on the new exhibition War Horse which was well presented and did not look much at other exhibits having seen them not long ago. There was a good after meeting pub chat. Thanks to Robert for the great organisation.
