York Army Museum

The York Army Museum houses over 300 years of history, telling the stories of The Royal Dragoon Guards, The Prince of Wales’s Own Regiment of Yorkshire and The Yorkshire Regiment. These regiments have fought in nearly all the British Army’s campaigns – actions which have helped to shape our world. The York Army Museum brings to life the histories of these Regiments and their antecedents in a modern, interactive setting. YAM strives to conserve and protect the heritage of our Regiments and create opportunities for the general public to engage with military history. Our Museum tells the personal, inspirational stories of regional soldiers in order to connect with our local community.
YAM has recently undergone a substantial refurbishment, enabled by generous support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, and is now in the process of developing an exciting new education and events programme. The York Army Museum now reflects our regimental histories from the last 330 years, 1685 to the present day. Our story is part of everyone's history.
