Imperial War Museum Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Spanning five separate locations, the Imperial War Museum takes a look back at the wars fought during the 20th century. Exhibits vary in size and poignancy, with everything from full-size tanks to personal letters from war prisoners. Originally opened in 1920, the history of the museum parallels the artifacts it now houses. The museum was expanded during World War II, later adding a permanent exhibition on the tragic events during the Holocaust.

A fantastic museum showing British history over the centuries. Free entry!
Imperial war museum is good day out teenagers seems to enjoy it more. Some nice exhibitions
Interesting presentation of history at 5 floors. You will be welcomed by pair of 15-inch naval guns. We especially enjoyed infamous V2 rocket as well as cool Hawker Harrier installation. Definitely worth of visit while in London.
Incredible museum with mind blowing story telling capacity. Too much to do in one visit so it’s worth picking one area & benefitting from the wealth of knowledge presented.
definitely worth going and do get the audio guidewe were so “museum-ed out” listening and reading about World War 1 & 2
