The National Army Museum (NAM) was founded by Royal Charter in 1960 at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and moved to its present site on Royal Hospital Road in Chelsea in 1971. Between 2014-2017 the Museum underwent a £27million transformation project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The Mission of the Museum is to tell the story of Our Army and the soldiers who have served in it since its formation in 1660. This is a continuous story of service in the Land Forces of the Crown by soldiers from over 50 nations.
The Museum attracts an average annual footfall of over 220K and a digital footfall through its public programme, social media and web-based products of over a million. We hope to build our audiences to a physical footfall of 250K by 2026/27. We aim to make all of our collections globally accessible and to become the leading authority on the history and traditions of Our Army through high quality research and exciting and inspiring public history. We are proud to be sponsored by today’s Army and to support it in bringing its incredible and diverse history to the widest possible audience. We believe passionately in working with the Army, academic, heritage and service charity partners to maximise the reach and relevance of the stories we tell through our world class collection and museum.
Due to the retirement on rotation of existing members, we are seeking to appoint a number of new members to NAM Council. During this round of appointments, we are particularly looking for people experienced within the fields of building/engineering/major redevelopment/project management and development fundraising.
Key responsibilities of Council are to:
Members of Council are appointed for a three-year term, normally extended by a second three-year term to six years, and are not remunerated (reasonable expenses will be paid).
There are a minimum of four meetings a year but preparation time, service on sub-committees and other Council duties can considerably increase this time commitment. Meetings are normally held at the NAM Chelsea in London.
The Council recognises and actively promotes the benefits of a diverse membership and is committed to equality of opportunity. During this round we are particularly looking to diversify our membership.
The closing date for all applications is Friday 6 March 2026. Interviews will be held in April 2026 at the Museum in Chelsea, London.
