Richard III Museum

The Richard III Experience at Monk Bar was located in Monk Bar, the tallest of the four gatehouses in the historical city walls of York, England. It described the life of Richard III, the last king of the Plantagenet dynasty.

The museum explored Richard's early life, and the battles that raged between the houses of Lancaster and York during the Wars of the Roses. It described his reign and his death at the Battle of Bosworth, alongside multimedia presentations about the key battles of the Wars of the Roses. There was also arms and armour from his reign, including the only known fragment of a gun from that period.In 2014, the York Archaeological Trust's Jorvik Group took over the space within Monk Bar that had housed the Richard III Museum since 1993, and created "The Richard III Experience at Monk Bar".
