Imperial War Museum

travel  wonder in England

Why the

Imperial War Museum

is special

The Imperial War Museum does not lionize combat but gives us insight into military tools and how hostilities affect the lives of military personnel and civilians.

After visiting the Imperial War Museum, you will have a keener understanding of warfare.

The Imperial War Museum

has five branches

London Branch

This is the main branch (pictured on the left side of the photo). These three exhibits are among the highlights: Simulation of the sights, sounds and smells of trench fighting, Reenactment of what it was like to live through the World War II Blitz, and A poignant presentation on the Holocaust.

North

It is in Manchester and, like the London Branch, covers a broad range of warfare subjects. Its modern building is shown on the right side of the picture.

Duxford

The emphasis is on aviation and aerospace. It's located near Cambridge.

Churchill Museum

and Cabinet War Rooms

You'll see the underground, supposedly bomb-proof chambers in London where the Prime Minister and his cabinet worked.

HMS Belfast

Explore the many decks of this naval battleship. It's moored on the Thames River near London's Tower Bridge.
