What is the London Military Museums Network (LMMN) and what do we aim to do?

What is the London Military Museums Network (LMMN) and what do we aim to do?

  • Provide regular meetings at which members can discuss matters relating to the management of military museums and collections, encouraging collaborative working to ensure that relevant objects, artefacts and archives are recorded, displayed and conserved for current and future generations.
  • Promote the exchange of ideas between members encouraging a spirit of cooperation ensuring that the objects, artefacts and archives of each collection are accessible and where appropriate displayed for the benefit and education of the public and military communities alike, including special interest groups and organisations of all age groups and cultures.
  • Develop, encourage and exploit complementary policies, practices and collaborative working opportunities where appropriate, that will best support the preservation of objects, artefacts and archives within the Network collections.
  • Encourage joint publicity and mutual promotion of facilities and exhibitions.
  • Collaborate on projects which improve intellectual or physical access to museum collections.
  • Make best use of the knowledge and capability of the Network for the benefit of Military Heritage in the region.

Important notice, If you are planning a trip to London in September:

Please note that between 2-24 September 2024, some of the King’s Life Guard Ceremonial duties will change.

There will be no horses at Horse Guards or 1100hrs Mounted Guard Change during this time. 

The soldiers will change from Mounted Review Order to Dismounted Review Order. Dismounted soldiers will still be seen daily in the Tilt Yard between 1000hrs and 1600hrs, with a dismounted Guard change ceremony taking place at 1100hrs and the traditional 1600 hrs parade. This is to allow essential infrastructure maintenance to take place.

The public will also continue to see the dismounted soldiers on duty at Horse Guards on a daily basis during this time.

This does mean that there will be no horses to see through our glass viewing window in the museum during this period but the museum will remain open.
