REME Museum

Since World War Two, REME have been "keeping the punch in the Army's fist" by making sure that the British Army's cutting-edge equipment is battle-ready. The award-winning REME Museum's interactive galleries feature everything from rare recovery vehicles to a tiny toothbrush made by a Prisoner of War.

Starting on the beaches of Normandy, journey through time and uncover tales of skill, innovation and bravery. From the REME Officer who saved Volkswagen from the ruins of war, to the intrepid mechanic who powered the first overland crossing of Antarctica. Don't miss the special exhibition exploring new themes and untold stories, currently showcasing a unique collaborative art exhibition between the REME Museum and the REME Officers' Mess.

Leave time to explore our grounds, including:

'Dig for Victory' vegetable garden
Wildflower and sensory garden
Garden of Remembrance - a memorial to the servicemen repatriated through RAF Lyneham.
