About The Royal Green Jackets (Rifles) Museum

The Royal Green Jackets (Rifles) Museum is situated adjacent to Winchester's Great Hall and within easy walking distance of the City centre, The Royal Green Jackets (Rifles) Museum, opened in 1989, is one of the best regimental museums in the Country. It is also one of Winchester's five military museums. Visited by thousands every year, the Museum records, visually, graphically and entertainingly, the history of three of the finest and most famous regiments in the British Army.
Laid out chronologically, the Museum's displays tell of the part played by the regiments in campaigning for peace over two and half centuries, and how the regiments' approach to soldiering and readiness to adopt new ideas were often ahead of the rest. The Museum also provides a fitting focus on courage with a special Victoria Cross display, including a touch screen giving visitors access to detailed information about the actions and personal histories of each of the regiments' 59 Victoria Cross winners.
