The AGC Museum was officially opened by Her Majesty The Queen on Friday 21 November 2003. Accompanied by His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh and Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Gloucester, Her Majesty The Queen officially opened the new Adjutant General's Corps Museum in Peninsula Barracks in Winchester. During the opening ceremony Her Majesty toured the newly refurbished building and spoke to many of those who were involved in the project. The gateway to Winchester's Military Museums, the AGC Museum is the latest addition to the Museums housed in Peninsula Barracks and also hosts a Visitor Centre with a Cafe where visitors can relax when visiting the Museums.

Collections description
The Museum seeks to tell the story of personnel administration and pay, policing and detention, education, legal matters and women in the Army by using the collections of the antecedent corps – RAPC, RMP and MPSC, RAEC, ALC and WRAC, not forgetting the RAOC staff clerks and all regimental clerks in the Army. One of the most prized items in the Museum is a War Department Driving Permit that once belonged to the Queen. It is on permanent display inside the Museum.
