About the REME Museum
The REME Museum exists to tell the story of the Corps of The Royal Electrical and Mehanical Engineers. Formed in October 1942, wherever you find the British Army, there you will find REME. Whether it’s maintaining a helicopter, repairing a missile launcher or recovering a broken-down tank, REME will be on-hand, ensuring the Army is always ready for action.
Discover the people, equipment and stories behind the uniform at the REME Museum. Located just outside MOD Lyneham in Wiltshire, the Museum features modern, interactive displays from rare World War Two vehicles to a tiny toothbrush made by a REME prisoner of war.
The Museum is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10:30 to 16:30. Remember to make time for a break at Crown’s Café. Visit our website at www.rememuseum.org.uk to plan your trip.
