The Royal Engineers Museum is situated in an inspiring Grade 2 listed building in the heart of Medway, with ample free car and coach parking. Coupled with good bus links and just a short walk from the nearest train station, it’s never been easier to get here.
Open Tuesday-Sunday, 10am - 5pm (last entry is 4pm) and packed with an eclectic assortment of objects drawn from the Sappers' international adventures over their 300+ year history. Take in one of the most important military collections in the UK with items such as the unique Waterloo map (used by the Duke of Wellington to plan the Battle), Chard's revolver from the Battle of Rorke's Drift, an awe-inspiring V2 rocket and one of the largest sections of the Berlin Wall outside of Germany.
The story of the Corps of Royal Engineers is one of skill, courage and inspired initiative under fire, as well as behind-the-lines engineering endeavour. Follow this story as the galleries guide you through the history of the Corps. From their earliest roots in the Middle Ages, through to formalisation, Gibraltar, Waterloo, the Victorian campaigns and into the conflicts of the 20th and 21st centuries. Discover how the Engineers grew from military architects and specialists in siege craft to using pioneering combat engineering techniques - from diving, surveying and flying to photography and the world's first usable guided torpedo.
With a wealth of bridge-laying armoured vehicles, dressing-up boxes and an outdoor play Tank for children to explore, a café, with great coffee at the heart of the collection, & museum tickets valid for a year from purchase (including our events like, Medway Model Show, & many more).
