The Tank Museum
About
The Tank Museum brings the story of tanks and their crews to life, with the world's best collection of tanks in awe-inspiring, modern exhibitions.
The Museum houses 300 military machines, representing the key battles of every major conflict since the First World War. Our moving exhibitions tell the story of this British invention; from the mud of the Somme to the beaches of Normandy and the deserts of Iraq - featuring powerful stories from the soldiers that fought in them.
With trails and quizzes, interactive games and exhibits, indoor and outdoor play areas, and talks and tours, you can spend the whole day at The Tank Museum without getting bored. On select weekdays during the Easter, May and summer holidays* you can see Tanks in Action and ride round the arena in an M548 tracked vehicle.
There are special events going on throughout the year at The Tank Museum including TANKFEST, model shows and Tiger Days, as well as a Dorset Christmas fair.
The Tank Museum is fully wheelchair accessible throughout, with free wheelchairs for hire available. As well as being close to Wool station, there is a large free carpark including coach, motorbike and disabled parking. There is an onsite restaurant and café serving a variety of hot meals, snacks, and drinks from Dorset and South West suppliers.
