Hands Across the Sea: The Royal Armouries Museum—Louisville
SWORDPLAY AND BILLHOOKS, Zulu warriors and Roundheads: in Louisville? It may come as surprising news to British Heritage readers that the only British national museum to have a branch in the United States has it in—of all places—Louisville, Kentucky. Yes, the Royal Armouries Museum, with its headquarters in Leeds and an outpost in the Tower of London, resides also in the Bluegrass State at the Frazier International History Museum. I had never heard of the Frazier museum either, and decided to go to Louisville to find the story.
