REME Museum

The REME Museum, also known as the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers Museum, is a military museum of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME); the corps of the British Army responsible for the maintenance, servicing, inspection, and recovery of electrical and mechanical vehicles and equipment.

The museum holds collections of technological and historical artefacts associated with the work of the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers.

Over time, the museum moved to a neighbouring building and expanded to allow more objects and vehicles to be displayed.

[1] In April 2015, the museum closed in preparation for the relocation of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers from Berkshire to MoD Lyneham in Wiltshire, as part of the Defence Technical Training Change Programme.

This allowed a complete refresh of the displays and layout, as well as providing upgraded facilities that are made available to the public.
