Established in 1917 while the First World War was still being fought, the Imperial War Museum was created to make certain future generations would understand the causes and consequences of war.

Its collections are intended to show the experiences of those who lived through and those who served in war times. Displays of photographs, art work, films, podcasts, recordings and family letters serve to memorialize them.

Visitors can experience a hundred years of British art work that explores themes such as War Rooms, destruction, construction, machinery and the tension that hung over people’s lives.

The life of an English family is chronicled through photos, recordings, letters and a miniature reproduction of their home to show what it was like to live through the war and how they had to adapt to survive.

The IWM collection covers technical, social, cultural, political and personal artifacts that relate to Britain and its role in the conflict. From counterfeit match boxes issued to Special Operations Agents who worked in occupied France to trinkets collected by soldiers and families, the displays range from the unique and special to the ordinary items of daily life in war time.

Facilities include a café. The building is handicap accessible and guide and assistance dogs are welcome.
