Firepower, the Royal Artillery Museum in Woolwich tells the powerful and dramatic story of artillery, scientific discoveries made through warfare and human stories of courage and endeavour.  The original Museum building was burnt out in 1802 and the surviving artefacts housed in the Old Royal Military Academy.  The science of artillery and the human endeavours of Gunners make a fascinating story and one that you will follow from catapult to rocket, and from the battlefield to Crécy to the peacekeeping missions in Bosnia.
