The Military Intelligence Museum covers the history of military intelligence, from the Boer War to the present day! As the Military Intelligence Museum is located on an active Ministry of Defence base, to comply with the site's security regulations, all visits are by appointment only. We ask for at least 3 working days notice to arrange a visit. Additional information on getting to the site and what to do upon arrival will be provided. Entry to the museum is free of charge, although we do accept donations.
Fabulous Museum with so much to see and understand how the military found information and deployed that new knowledge to forces for over 200 years. Free entrance but needs booking ahead to register and pass through tough security arrangements. Not for the Museum necessarily but for all the intelligence services on campus. Go but take your time to look, read, ponder and question the staff so you really understand the subject. We were so well looked after and we send grateful thanks for all that.
Very interesting museum and the curator was an excellent guide.
This museum does what it says on the tin, and focuses on military intelligence. Starting from ancient times thru WW2, Northern Island, the falklands and right up to Iraq and Afghan conflicts. Aerial photography is a strong feature, and there is a lot of equipment displayed relating to this. It is on a military base so you'll need to email them a few days before you want to visit and fill in a form, but that's easy enough. There's no cafe, gift shop, picnic area, playground of course.
An excellent museum full of fascinating exhibits. Our guide had many stories to tell about the exhibits and made the visit even more interesting. I'll visit again!
I visited today and was shown around the whole Intelligence Museum, which is a TARDIS!! Major Bill Steadman, who showed me around all the exhibits was an absolute mine of information, and knew the back stories of every exhibit. The museum is looking for a new home, and can see why; every inch of wall space is covered with excellent interactive displays. This museum provides a wonderful visit for anyone interested in the intelligence world. I wouldn't have missed it for the world! Well done to all concerned!!
