London’s museum on twentieth and twenty-first century conflict

The Imperial War Museum covers conflicts from the First World War until now, especially those conflicts that involve(d) Britain and the Commonwealth. There is a wide variety of exhibits: tanks and aircrafts, but also photographs and personal letters. Permanent galleries in the museum include the Holocaust exhibition and an exhibition on espionage and Britain’s special forces.

Admission to the permanent galleries is totally free. For some (not all) special, temporary exhibitions, a fee is charged.
