The National Army Museum has a mission to tell the story of our Army and the people who have served in it. Through our galleries and our innovative exhibition and events programme, the public can explore what it's like to be a soldier, find out why we fought in conflicts (past and present), and discover the impact the Army has had on our society.
Trustee/Chair, Chelsea Heritage Quarter
The Chelsea Heritage Quarter was launched in July 2024 to explore 350 years of history inspired by the rich heritage of three remarkable Chelsea institutions: Chelsea Physic Garden, the Royal Hospital Chelsea and the National Army Museum.
Supported by Cadogan, itself a 300-year-old Chelsea institution, the Quarter attracts visitors through a year-round programme of events, walking tours, installations and family activities. Its flagship event is the Chelsea History Festival, which draws over 10,000 people in September each year.
The Quarter is currently seeking a Trustee with senior-level experience of programming and broad contacts in the culture/heritage/GLAM sector.
For further details, and to find out how to apply, visit the Chelsea Heritage Quarter website.
