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:
Stories from the Carnage: The Royal Warwickshire Regiment and the Somme
This exhibition (until 1 July 2026) looks at experiences of the first day of the Battle of the Somme, which saw almost 60,000 British casualties. It presents accounts from those involved, including writer AA Milne and cricketer Percy Jeeves, whose name later inspired PG Wodehouse’s famous character.
Following Threads: Exploring Embroidery Work Created by Soldiers of the Victorian Age
This exhibition (28 January–11 April 2026) presents embroidery produced by members of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment in India and other locations during the late Victorian period. The display considers why soldiers made these pieces and how such textiles featured in regimental life across the British Empire.
A Day in the Life of a Fusilier: Soldiers of the Modern British Army
A Day in the Life of a Fusilier: Soldiers of the Modern British Army (22 April–20 June 2026) presents photographs of the first and fifth battalions of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. The display offers a view of daily routines, duties and working conditions in the modern British Army, highlighting a range of roles within contemporary military service.
