The Fusilier Museum (formerly the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers Museum (Royal Warwickshire)) chronicles the 300-year history of the Warwickshire County Regiment. Although regimental museums often tend to be fairly dry, this one does have some activities that make it a more interesting museum to visit.

What to see at the Fusilier Museum
The Fusilier Museum has displays about the 300-year history of the Warwickshire County Regiment and its role in both World Wars.
The museum caters to fusiliers and people who have had family in the regiment as well as those with an interest in military history. It is well presented and it includes activities where you can try on uniforms and experience a replica First World War trench.
Temporary exhibitions at the Fusilier Museum
In addition to its permanent collection, the museum hosts a programme of temporary exhibitions. Current and planned exhibitions include:
Home & Away – Football in the British Army
Home & Away – Football in the British Army (until 29 November 2025) explores the role of football in soldiers’ lives. It examines how the sport influenced training, morale and rehabilitation, and highlights players from the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. Featuring trophies, diaries and photographs, the exhibition reveals football’s place on the frontline, the home front and within women’s wartime teams.
Visiting the Fusilier Museum
The museum is located in Pageant House in the town centre, sharing the same building as the tourist information centre and the Warwickshire Yeomanry Museum. From here it is a two-minute walk to the main entrance to Warwick Castle, a four-minute walk to St Mary’s Church, a seven-minute walk to both the bus station and Market Hall Museum and the railway station is around a 13-minute walk away.
Admission is £5, although this does give you entry for one year.
If you have an interest in military history you may also want to visit the Warwickshire Yeomanry Museum, which is located in the same building.
