The Fusilier Museum Warwick brings the past to life and tells the personal stories of soldiers in the local area. It spans over 350 years of the Royal Warwickshire’s history, from its inception in 1674 right through to the Fusiliers of today including stories from more recent conflicts in Northern Ireland, Bosnia and Afghanistan. Throughout 2024 the museum is commemorating the 350th anniversary of the founding of the regiment with a special exhibition and events planned for October.

The Museum will be closed on Thursday 3rd October

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. This is due to our staff going to the Army Museums Ogilby Trust (AMOT) Conference to hear about the latest developments in regimental museums. We will be open as usual on Friday 4th October.
