Display & Mannequins & Mixed (Class XVIII) — 1800s
About this product
About this collection
This collection covers 67 display and mannequin objects from the 1800s, delivered across 213 images in 9 ZIP assets. The early 19th century was a formative period for the Royal Armouries as a public institution — the display objects from this decade document the museum's early approach to presenting its collections and the physical infrastructure developed for that purpose.
Why it matters
Early 19th-century display objects provide rare primary evidence for the formative period of British public museum culture — before the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the subsequent expansion of the museum sector, institutions like the Royal Armouries were developing display practices largely without precedent.
