History
editThe museum was opened in 1987 when a large volume of archival material and militaria was sorted and put on display.[1] After a complete re-build, it was re-opened by the Duke of Edinburgh on 12 October 2011.[2]
Contents
editThe collection includes uniforms, armour, silver, medals and decorations, weapons, equipment and applied art. The archives date from 1537 and are of particular interest for 17th- and 18th-century militia and City of London matters.[3]
Admission
editThe museum is only open to members of the Company and their guests.[4]
