About Us
The York Army Museum offers visitors a unique experience. We curate the history of two current serving regiments of the British Army: The Royal Dragoon Guards and The Yorkshire Regiment. One cavalry, one infantry; each of these regiments can trace its history back over three hundred years. Both have a historic connection to Yorkshire and its people. Following a recent £1 million refurbishment, York Army Museum is now open as an exciting and engaging visitor attraction, with something to offer for all ages. Take a virtual tour: click here
The museum is privileged to be able to display the funeral sword of Captain Sir Tom Moore, which has been donated to the museum.
From June to September 2022 the museum is hosting On the Playing Field, a temporary exhibition celebrating our regiments' sporting heritage.
The museum has been a finalist in the Visit York Tourism Awards Small Attractions category every year since 2016, and won the award in 2018.
