The Tank Museum

The Tank Museum

The Tank Museum brings the history of tanks and tank crews to life, supported by the world’s best collection of tanks and action packed live displays and registered charity.

The Tank Museum holds the finest and most historically significant collection of armoured fighting vehicles in the world. Unrivalled in scope and depth, we care for 300 vehicles from 26 nations. These range from `Little Willie`, the world’s first tank, through to the British Army’s current Main Battle Tank, Challenger 2.

Our exhibitions tell the story of armoured warfare spanning more than a century of history. As you explore the Museum’s six large halls, you will come face to face with tanks that have seen action in all the major conflicts of the 20th Century.

Whether it be the people who designed them or built them, fought in them or against them, or simply the stories of those for whom they were fighting, this magnificent collection and exhibition unearths and brings to life the often brutal reality of the tanks’ place in shaping the modern world.
