The Royal Engineers Museum is like no other military museum you might have visited. It houses objects highlighting the enormous range of achievements of the Royal Engineers over the centuries, from the creation of the Ordnance Survey to the beginnings of flying, from the designing of the Albert Hall to the dangerous on-going task of bomb disposal.

There is something for all the family, such as the exquisite Chinese embroideries, A World War trench and dugout, a working model of a military railway and port, A Harrier jump-jet and a Chatham house interior in the Blitz. The magnificent medal displays include 26 Victoria Crosses and the regalia of Field Marshall Lord Kitchener.
