About
The Imperial War Museum (IWM) offers a deeply moving and comprehensive exploration of modern conflicts, focusing on the human experience of war. From World War I to the present day, its galleries and exhibits reveal the impact of war on soldiers and civilians alike
Insider Tips
The museum's exhibits are both immersive and emotional. Notable displays include the World War I Galleries, which provide a gripping account of the Great War, and The Holocaust Exhibition, offering a harrowing and deeply respectful account of the atrocities of the Holocaust. The Family in Wartime exhibit showcases life on the home front during World War II, giving insight into how civilians were affected
The museum is large and packed with information, so plan for at least 2-3 hours if you want to explore the main galleries in depth. The World War I and Holocaust Exhibitions alone can take up a significant amount of time
