About Us
The York Army Museum offers visitors a unique experience. We curate the history of two current serving regiments of the British Army: The Royal Dragoon Guards and The Royal Yorkshire Regiment. One cavalry, one infantry; each of these regiments can trace its history back over three hundred years. Both have a historic connection to Yorkshire and its people. Following a recent £1 million refurbishment, York Army Museum is now open as an exciting and engaging visitor attraction, with something to offer for all ages. Take a virtual tour: click here
The museum has been a finalist in the Visit York Tourism Awards Small Attractions category every year since 2016, and won the award in 2018.
