Galleries

There are 5 galleries at the Royal Armouries in Leeds. There is also the impressive Hall of Steel which has a mass display of over 2500 objects.

Outside is the Craft Court where the Gunmaker, Armourer’s workshop and the Wardrobe can be seen. Watch the craftsmen and women at work.

Next to the Craft Court is the Menagerie including our Stables. The Menagerie is home to our birds of prey. Here visitors can see the birds from the falconry displays, and other birds too, up close. It is also home to the Royal Armouries horses who can be seen performing in the horse shows in the Tiltyard.
