About The Green Howards Museum
Description
Three hundred years of service and sacrifice, bravery and friendship. We tell the fascinating story of this famous regiment through the lives of those who served. The objects in our collection come from many different sources, but the collection itself started through the interests and collections of a few key individuals.
Over time, through diligent collecting, and generous donation, the collection has grown.
From stunning silver to impressive uniforms, ‘Mousey’ Thompson furniture, paintings, medals, musical instruments, military equipment and personal items such as letters, notebooks and photographs, there’s lots to explore over the three floors of the museum, in the centre of Richmond’s market place.
We have special exhibitions, talks and family activities.

Really the very best museum I have ever visited. The exhibits were incredible and very well labelled. The stories of the soldiers were detailed and extremely interesting. This was my first visit but hope it won't be my last.
Great place to take the kids to show them the history of the Green Howards. The museum has been through a massive refit since my last visit and I was massively surprised by the outstanding quality. There is so much on display and you'll need a bit of time set aside if you want to see it all.
Super Regimental Museum right in the Market Place at Richmond. £5 entrance fee. Over 3 floors (there's a lift) tracing the Green Howard's Regiment from "The Scarlet To Khaki" Very interesting museum which details all the areas of war and conflict the regiment has served. There's a medal room featuring an impressive number of medals and honours especially the Victoria Cross Wall. There's the Regimental Dinning Room (The Normandy Room) showcasing the Regimental Silver. Thoroughly enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours while the wife was shopping.
A little pricey for tourists, worth the money if you are interested in this history and you can return for free all year (as tourists, it's unlikely we will) my daughter enjoyed the interactive displays and the workbook we were given. Her magnet sits proudly on display on our fridge.
Very interesting, relatively small museum. Well laid out and some fascinating exhibits.
