Welcome To The Home Of The Tank

The tank was a British invention that changed warfare for ever when it was introduced in World War One – and Bovington has been the home of the tank ever since. From the Somme to Tiananmen Square or D-Day to Desert Storm the tank has played a part in shaping history – and it continues to do so today.

The Tank Museum is the only place where many of these rare and historic vehicles can be seen. Fresh from a £16m investment in new exhibitions & facilities, with almost 200 vehicles on display in 6 large halls, you will come face-to-face with tanks that have seen action in all the major wars of the 20th century.

The Trench Experience allows you to walk in the footsteps of a World War One solider from the recruiting office to the front line. The Discovery Centre...where you will find out how different tanks are used in different ways and learn what it is like to be a tank crewman. The Tank Story tells the story of the tank from its invention to the present day.





















In our Arena you can get closer to the action; see the awesome tank action displays during school holidays – and experience for yourself the thrill of riding in a tracked vehicle. Click here to find out when our special events and displays occur.
