The Royal Army Physical Training Corps Museum is the regimental museum for the Royal Army Physical Training Corps (RAPTC) which is based in Aldershot in Hampshire. The museum is located in the grounds of the Army School of Physical Training on Fox Lines in the Military Town, and tells the story of the RAPTC from its foundation in the 1860s to the present day. The aim of the RAPTC Museum is to "educate the public and members of the Corps in the history and military accomplishments of the Corps and to promote military efficiency and encourage recruitment by public exhibit of the collection in a museum or museums or such other public places as the Trustees may from time to time decide, and to conserve, restore, repair, reconstruct and preserve objects in the collection.". The museum showcases historic and current day examples of the uniform, medals, weapons, sporting and Olympic memorabilia, personalities, trophies and training equipment used by the RAPTC. The displays show how physical training in the British Army has advanced from the first organised training sessions in the 1860s to modern concepts of fitness, health and exercise.
