Royal Armories: White Tower is one of three, along with Leeds and Fort Nelson, branches of the British National Museum of Arms and Armaments. The Tower of London, located on the first floor of the Line of Kings, is considered the most interesting permanent exhibition in the White Tower. The collection of royal armor bears the honor of being the oldest tourist attraction in the world. Exhibits were collected here for public presentations as early as the 16th century, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
The White Tower presents the elaborately made and ornate armor of Henry VIII, Charles I and James II. A rich collection of horse armor has also been gathered here. An interesting element of the exhibition are carefully carved figures of rulers and life-size wooden horses ridden by steel riders. The armament is in excellent condition, meticulously restored and complete. Upstairs is the exhibition titled Treasures, which is a literal presentation of treasures, including various richly decorated weapons - from samurai armor and swords to the six-shot 1989 The Tiffany Revolver.
The third permanent exhibition at the White Tower is the Power House exhibition. Its heroes are people who managed the state for hundreds of years. Against the background of exhibits made of valuable materials and elaborately decorated parade weapons, an extremely simple, devoid of any hangman ax with a trunk bearing traces of use stands out.
