Adult Groups
These sessions have been devised to last between 30-45 minutes. 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. - Afghan again
The British Army has been in Afghanistan several times over the last 160 years: a shared history we've forgotten, and Afghanistan hasn't. This talk covers the main campaigns up to the modern day, and looks at the way the Army (and Afghanistan) has changed over time.
