I would suggest visiting the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds.  The
museum is new, opening only about 1 year ago, and contains some of
the collection formarly on display at the HM Tower of London.  Although I
haven't visited the new museum yet, I did intern for the Royal Armouries
at the HM Tower of London a few years ago when the plans were being
made for the museum in Leeds and it looked wonderful.
