Key artists and exhibits
At the National Army Museum the adventures of the British soldier are brought vividly to life! See portraits by Reynolds and Gainsborough, a lamp used by Florence Nightingale, the frost-bitten fingers of Everest conqueror Major ‘Bronco’ Lane – even the skeleton of Napoleon’s horse! ; Feel the weight of a Tudor cannonball, try on soldiers’ helmets, survey the opposing forces on an enormous model of the Battle of Waterloo, explore a recreated First World War trench and even test your ‘military skills’ in a series of exciting computer challenges.
