The Wallace Collection is home to one of the finest assemblages of arms and armour in a public collection. Our newly published Catalogue of Arms and Armour from Asia, Africa and the Ottoman World and our free display, Swords of Lucknow, highlight this previously understudied part of the museum’s collections.  

Delve into the world of arms and armour and learn about their important role both within and beyond warfare. Discussions will centre around courtly culture and diplomacy, making and decorating, cross-cultural interactions and colonial collecting histories. Leading scholars and specialists will share their insights and latest research.
