The Adjutant General’s Corps Museum is located in the former guardroom of Peninsula Barracks. Here, we tell the story of the modern Adjutant General’s Corps (AGC) and its antecedents through artifacts and interpretative displays.
The AGC was formed in 1992 from the amalgamation of: Royal Army Pay Corps (RAPC), Royal Army Educational Corps (RAEC), Corps of the Royal Military Police (CRMP). Army Legal Corps (ALS), Military Provost Staff Corps (MPSC), and Women’s Royal Army Corps (WRAC).
The AGC’s history is rich and expansive, and this is reflected in our collection. You can find a wealth of objects on display, some of which date back to the 18th century. Our collection highlights include a vast array of medals and photographs, but there are many more exciting objects on display, all with fascinating stories for you to discover.
Our displays differ significantly from the other museums, as we highlight the ‘behind-the-scenes’ work of the Army. Visit us if you wish to discover how the soldiers were paid and educated through key periods of military history!
At present, the Museum displays largely consist of items of the Royal Army Pay Corps, Royal Army Educational Corps, and Women’s Royal Army Corps, but there is a wide variety on display, and something for everyone’s interests.

We offer a range of Children’s activities throughout the museum, designed to keep them engaged and interested throughout. They are also festively themed throughout the year! Keep an eye out for our mascot, Addy the Lion, as he is often hidden throughout the displays to help you discover the answers to our quiz trails. Towards the end of the Museum, we offer a game of giant historical snakes & ladders, alongside regimental dress-up. Beside the rack you will find a mirror to take photos. Feel free to share with us on our socials.
