About Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum London is not just a Museum of war remnants from the distant past, but about people still alive today, their parents and grandparents. It tells the stories of those who have lived, fought and died in conflict from the First World War to the present day.

To all those who have always wondered what life was like during those dark years, making a trip to the Imperial War Museum located in Lambeth Road, London, will be an experience that you would not want to miss.  The Museum has an unparalleled collection covering all aspects of twentieth and twenty-first century conflict involving Britain and the Commonwealth.                    

Visit the comprehensive First and Second World War galleries which include the Trench Experience, a walk-though re-creation of a front line trench in the autumn of 1916 and the Blitz Experience, a reconstruction of an air-raid shelter and a blitzed street in 1940.

Thinking of how to explaining to your kids what their parents and grandparents went through during the war?? Take them to the Children's War exhibition at the Imperial War museum and find out how children coped with wartime life.

The Museum is also home to one of the largest collections of British twentieth century art, works from which are presented in a changing programme of displays.
