Waterloo 1815: The Art of Battle

2015 marks the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo – one of the most significant battles in British and European history.

Royal Armouries Leeds will be marking the anniversary with a special exhibition bringing together works of art, and arms & armour.

Highlights of the exhibition will be the newly restored and rarely exhibited monumental Waterloo cartoon by Daniel Maclise, on loan from the Royal Academy of Arts, and the magnificent painting Scotland Forever! by Lady Elizabeth Butler on loan from Leeds City Art Gallery. These stunning works of art will be displayed for the first time alongside unique objects, on loan and from our own collections, to tell the story of the events of 18 June 1815.

Entry to the exhibition is free
