National Army Museum in Chelsea, London closing for +2 years

[ARKOUDAKI]

Sadly the National Army Museum in Chelsea, London is set to close at the end of this month for a period of up two (2) years while they renovate the building and collections.

For those of you that have visited the museum (which is still free!) it provides a great history of the British Army. Yes, over the years the telling of that history has suffered from political correctness (the Indian Mutiny was renamed the Indian Rising' and other crap like that) but in general it remains a great museum. The Templar study centre provides a lot of great info and access to the collection. I have used it a lot for my research work on the Sikh and Afghan wars (which hopefully one day I will get written up!!!!!!!!!! :smt021 ). That too will close at the end of this month and the collections will be relocated.

So if you live around London or are coming soon (in the next two weeks) make sure you pay a visit to the NAM.
