Brilliant day out with the family. The battle reenactment between two gladiators was funny with some interesting information. It was well staffed. Definitely worth a visit.
The Royal Armaments Museum of Leeds is the branch of the Royal Armaments Museum of England. Its headquarters is located in London. The Museum opened in 1996 and is free to visit. The pavilion has five floors and several exhibition areas. The exhibits are rich in armor and weapons used by medieval warfare and cavalry, as well as weapons used in warfare during the 17-20th century, including tanks, mortars, heavy machine guns, rifles, armored vehicles, etc. We can understand the history and progress of the development of human weapons.
Modern, interactive museum with wide-ranging collection of arms from East-Asian to historical English armours. However, similarly to Tate Modern not all floors are currently accessible. Personally, I would visit once again in a couple of years to see how it develops.
Tickets are free from Leeds Station and 18 minutes eastward. It's worth seeing that all kinds of weapons from the Cold Weapon Age to the present age are mainly guns.
