exhibition · 2026-07-11

The Vehicle Conservation Centre (VCC) exhibition at the UK’s Tank Museum has undergone a £15,000 renovation, providing guests with an exclusive glimpse into the storage, conservation, and restoration of armoured vehicles. Established in 2013, the VCC contains more than 100 armoured fighting vehicles not exhibited in the main galleries. The upgraded exhibition showcases the efforts of the museum's Workshop Team and features items from the collection, including a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Engine. Positioned on a balcony that overlooks the VCC, the exhibition space now includes a new interactive installation that offers additional insights about the vehicles. The project was managed by Assistant Exhibitions Manager Rob.
