Firepower! The Royal Artillery Museum

Firepower, Royal Artillery Museum, Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, SE18 6ST, London, England

From Badajoz to Burma, Colenso to Kosovo, for three centuries the Royal Regiment of Artillery has provided the firepower in every theatre of war in which the British Army has been engaged.

Key to its contribution has been the development and deployment of state-of-the-art technology. At Firepower, you can trace the evolution of artillery from stone shot to shell and from rocket to missile.

FIREPOWER is a dignified memorial to Gunners 'everywhere', displaying the medals, poignant personal artefacts, photographs and documents which tell the stories of the men and women who served the guns. Located in the historic Royal Arsenal, the site of ordnance manufacturing and proofing for over 300 years.
