Gladiators: Heroes of the Colosseum Exhibition

Step into the Arena – the Gladiators are Coming to Leeds!

Gladiators: Heroes of the Colosseum is a blockbuster international exhibition storming into the Royal Armouries Museum until November 2025. See rare Roman artefacts from Pompeii and the Colosseum, discover the training, battle tactics, and fame of the ancient world’s fiercest fighters. Get up close to amazingly well-preserved 2000-year-old helmets, plus get hands-on with realistic replicas. Explore a model of the Colosseum and discover how it was a reflection of Roman society. This is more than history - it’s blood, grit, glory... so you can imagine what it would have been like to step into the arena.
For a limited time only. First time in the UK. Only at Royal Armouries Leeds.

All tickets include entry to the Museum.
