Behind The Scenes

The small Museum team are always working to develop and improve The Rifles Museum to reflect the stature of the Regiment. With the current pandemic we have focused on our online presence over the last year, extending our social media channels and completing this first stage of a revamped website for the Museum. Please let us know what you think of our new website on our social media or by email.
