The Guards Museum
The Guards Museum is a military museum at Wellington Barracks on Birdcage Walk, next to Buckingham Palace in central London. Run by The Guards Museum Trust, a registered charity, it tells the story of the five Foot Guards regiments of the King's Household Division — the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards — across 380 years of service. Displays combine uniforms, medals and personal stories with changing special exhibitions on ceremonial and military life.
