REME Museum and its collection

REME Museum
Source

The REME Museum exists to tell the story of the Corps of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME). Formed in October 1942, wherever you find the British Army, there you will find REME. Whether itโ€™s keeping an Apache attack helicopter battle ready or recovering a Challenger tank under fire, REME personnel make sure that cutting edge kit is ready for action. Discover the people, equipment and stories behind the uniform at the REME Museum. Located just outside MOD Lyneham in Wiltshire, the museum features modern, interactive displays from rare World War Two vehicles to a tiny toothbrush made by a REME prisoner of war. Alongside the main collection, the museum runs a programme of temporary exhibitions, special events throughout the year and family trails. The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 16:30 with facilities including the not-for-profit Crownโ€™s Cafรฉ, free parking, an under 7s playpark and Dig for Victory Garden. Additional services by appointment include research, school visits and group tours.

REME Museum Reviews

REME Museum has 1 rating.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    The REME Museum, formerly located in Arborfield, Berkshire, has been closed for relocation to Lyneham, Wiltshire. The Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) Museum showcased the history and achievements of the British Army's corps of electrical and mechanical engineers. During its operational period, visitors appreciated the museum's extensive collection of military vehicles, equipment, and memorabilia. The exhibits provided insight into the technical aspects of warfare and the crucial role of REME in maintaining the Army's equipment. However, as the museum is currently closed for relocation, it is not possible to visit or provide a current review of its facilities or exhibits at the Lyneham site. The relocation is part of a broader move of REME operations to MOD Lyneham. Once reopened, it is expected that the museum will continue to offer educational value to those interested in military history and engineering, but until then, potential visitors should be aware that the museum is not accessible.
