Here you can explore collections that include everything from fine and decorative arts to archaeology and the natural world. The number of individual items in the natural history department alone is vast. You can admire Sir Roger the Elephant or wonder at 300-million-year-old fossils of marine life from the Glasgow area.
The collection of arms and armour is one of the finest in the world.. Among its many treasures is the earliest near-complete field armour in the world (the famous 'Avant' armour, made in Milan circa 1440). Also in the collection is the impressive and unique armour for man and horse made for William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke, circa 1550.
