About Belarusian National Arts Museum

The National Army Museum in London interprets the history, people, and role of the British Army. It presents artifacts, personal stories, and exhibits that cover military campaigns, daily life, and the army’s relationship with society.

Galleries cover a broad chronological and thematic range, including material culture, uniforms, weapons, and personal items used by soldiers. Special exhibitions and educational programs explore specific conflicts and the army’s changing role.

The museum underwent a substantial redevelopment and reopened with new gallery layouts that emphasize narrative and artifact interpretation. Its collections are assembled to support research and public education about British military history.

The museum is located on Royal Hospital Road in the Chelsea area of London, close to the Royal Hospital Chelsea and the River Thames.

  • Redevelopment: Reopened after a major redevelopment in 2017 with redesigned galleries that present British land forces history across social, cultural, and operational themes.

Tips for Visiting Belarusian National Arts Museum

  • Check the museum's official website for current opening hours and temporary exhibition schedules before you visit-timed or special exhibitions can change and may have separate ticketing.
  • Plan to visit midweek in the morning to minimize crowds and give yourself at least 90-120 minutes to see the permanent collection and rotating displays without rushing.
  • Ask staff at the information desk about highlighted works or guided-tour times (if offered) so you don't miss major Belarusian artists that the museum emphasizes.
