O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Zbirka vsebuje več kot 75.000 predmetov, ki zajemajo 3.000 let zgodovine, kar jo uvršča med največje zbirke orožja in oklepov na svetu. Obiskovalci si lahko ogledajo vse od masivnega bojnega oklepa Henrika VIII. do pravega oklepa za slona, izdelanega za mogulskega bojnega slona.
Poudarki: Le malo ljudi ve, da se v galerijah lahko dotaknete pravega oklepa in orožja, vključno s preizkušanjem čelade in dvigovanjem pristnega meča iz 17. stoletja. Dvorana jekla, sedemnadstropni stekleni atrij, je obložena s 3.000 posameznimi kosi oklepov in orožja, razporejenimi v bleščečih vitrinah od tal do stropa.
Notranji nasveti
- Head straight to the Hall of Steel on level 3 first, the views through the glass atrium are spectacular before crowds build up.
- The live combat shows run at set times check the schedule on arrival so you don't miss the jousting demonstrations.
- Don't skip the top floor galleries which hold the curious oddities like the 'sword of mercy' and a pistol disguised as a book.
- Photography is allowed without flash everywhere, but the low light in the War Gallery means you'll want a steady hand or tripod.
