Touch History
A hands-on collection of weapons, armour, and fight books spanning four millennia. Free to visit.
Most museums make you stand behind a rope. Ours puts a sword in your hand.
Our collection spans from Bronze Age weapons to Renaissance fight manuals—and when you're done browsing, you can walk into our training hall and learn the techniques those manuals teach.
The Collection
Bronze Age to battlefield: 4,000 years of swords
Gothic plate armour from the Late Medieval period
Polearms: the weapons that changed European warfare
Hand-painted heraldic shields tell stories of lineage and honor
Marozzo's Opera Nova (1536) — the source of our techniques

From Museum to Training Floor
The techniques we teach come directly from the historical manuals in our collection. Explore the museum, then bring history to life.
