Virtual tour of the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds - accessible video

Can’t make it to the museum because a) it’s midnight b) you live in Japan c) it’s raining? Well, fear not... We now have a virtual 3D tour of the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds. But unfortunately the technology used to create it, is not fully accessible, so we created this video. Introduction and entrance: 00:00 Tournament gallery: 00:57 Tournament gallery mezzanine: 6:00 War gallery: 7:07 War gallery mezzanine: 12:26 Hall of Steel mid-point: 14:12 Hunting gallery mezzanine: 14:40 Hunting gallery : 16:05 Oriental gallery: 21:20 Self Defence gallery: 28:30 View from the highest bridge between the Hunting and Oriental gallery 32:17 Outro: 32:38 The Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds is a vast building, over 6 floors. Our galleries are located on the upper 4 floors and have over 8,000 objects on display, from the Stone Age to the 20th century. Many of the objects relate to war, but also sporting combat, hunting, art, self-defence, and popular culture. Many visitors to the Royal Armouries Museum express surprise over how large the building is and how many objects are on display. Of course not everyone can physically visit the museum due to geographical, economic, political, cultural or physical barriers and we recognise this. For these reasons we commissioned 3D virtual tour specialists, Apollo 3D , to create a virtual tour of the museum, its galleries, and feature 25 must see objects. The full 3D Virtual Tour can be found on our museum website : Unfortunately, the 3D virtual tour, does not provide a fully accessible experience, and so to address this we have created a curated video tour of the museum’s virtual space, with the same information about the featured objects, and an audio track with closed-captions.
