Royal Armouries Guidebook

The Royal Armouries is Britain-s national museum of arms and armour, and one of the most important museums of its type in the world. Its origins lie in the Middle Ages, and at its core is the celebrated collection originating in the nation-s working arsenal, assembled over many centuries at the Tower of London. In the reign of Elizabeth I, selected items began to be arranged for display to visitors, making the Royal Armouries heir to one of the oldest deliberately-created visitor attractions in the country.This fully-updated edition of the Royal Armouries guidebook is packed with useful information and stunning photography, and is a perfect introduction to the collection.
