The Guards Museum is a superb facility covering the exciting, entertaining and interesting world of the Five Regiments of Foot Guards. Here you can find everything from the glory days of scarlet and gold to the mud and blood of two devastating World Wars. It traces the dangerous role of present-day soldiering in an increasingly volatile world. The cornucopia of weapons, paintings, uniforms and memorabilia includes personal items, not only of the Dukes of Marlborough and Wellington, but also of the equally heroic men who served them. The collection boasts a large number of artefacts the belonged to members of the Royal Family, many of whom served in the Guards. There's also an inspiring exhibition of Victoria Crosses won by Guardsmen since it was first awarded 150 years ago, as well as numerous other gallantry awards. The museum is a hidden gem and well worth a visit.
