The Museum of The Queen's Royal Hussars
About This Museum
Tucked away in a quiet mews just a stone's throw from Warwick Castle, The Museum of The Queen's Royal Hussars feels like a well-kept secret. It’s a surprisingly intimate space that crackles with the energy of centuries of cavalry history, from the thunder of Napoleonic charges to the rumble of desert tanks in World War II. You won't find dusty, impersonal displays here; instead, you're met by the gleaming silver of a state trumpeter's instrument and the worn leather of an officer's saddle. It’s a deeply human story of service and sacrifice, told through the very objects that lived it.
Collection Highlights
The museum brilliantly contrasts eras: see the ornate breastplate worn at Waterloo alongside the battledress of a modern tank commander. Don't miss the personal diary of a soldier from the Charge at Mons or the collection of historic uniforms that let you trace the regiment's evolving identity.
Visitor Information
It's easy to find in Trinity Mews, just off Priory Road. Given its smaller size, an hour or two is perfect to soak it all in. Best to check their social media for current opening times before you pop in.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a converted, unassuming stone building that was once part of the town's historic stables, its modest exterior gives little hint of the rich stories held within.
