Royal Armouries Museum Souvenir Guide — Leeds

£5

Make the most of your visit to the museum or explore the collection from the comfort of your armchair.

This is the new 2024 edition of the Royal Armouries souvenir guide for the Leeds museum site.

The guidebook has retained the wonderfully rich content, full colour photographs and imagery from earlier editions but has been brought up to date with changes that have been made to the museum since the last edition of the guidebook was published.

This 64-page guide is packed with fascinating facts and stunning colour photography and includes guides to the four permanent galleries: War, Tournament, Self Defence, and Asia and Africa, the 'Treasures of the Royal Armouries' and detailed floor maps of the museum. 

Covered in the section about our War gallery are topics such as mail, plate, cavalry, longbows, the development of helmets, mass production and the development of firearms.

The Tournament gallery section of the guidebook include information about the tournament and the type of combat involved such as tourney, joust, foot combat and tilt, Queen Elizabeth I, King Henry VIII and the Field of Cloth of Gold tournament, horse armour, as well as the making and decorating of armour.

The Asian and African gallery portion of this souvenir guide focuses on Islam, China, India, Japan and South and South East Asia

Topics covered in the Self Defence gallery information include travel, civil forces, fencing and duelling, making firearms, the development of swords and making edged weapons.

This is a fascinating and informative read and is well worth the time of anyone who is interested in arms and armour.
