The Muckleburgh Military Collection

Featuring tanks, armoured vehicles and weaponry, The Muckleburgh Military Collection is one of the most comprehensive private collections of military artefacts in the UK.

History of The Muckleburgh Military Collection

The Muckleburgh Military Collection’s story begins at a disused military base in Norfolk, England. After the Royal Artillery Anti-Aircraft training camp at Weybourne closed down, stockbroker Michael Savory, with assistance from his father, set about converting the site into a museum.

In 1988 the collection-turned-museum was opened to the public. It’s now one of the largest privately owned collections of military artefacts in the UK.
