This place is so fascinating. I grew up around WW2 veterans and my children share my interest. This place is so easy to enjoy and learn. I loved the screens with film, script and all sorts of information. A modern take on an historic subject.
Really good staff in all respects.nGood toilets and cafe. Shop nice but pricey in my opinion.nExhibits interesting but not enough of them. Too many gaps and not enough to see physically.nFelt like a whole floor was missing which it was, closed off.nOverall good but getting a little dated. Would still recommend for schools and overseas visitors. Perhaps some input from current armed forces, loaned exhibits?
My second visit ever here I came many years ago and it has changed massively but still as impressive. Over several floors so you need quite a few hours to fully appreciate and explore this place. Many exhibits on display with lots of information,some very impressive artifacts too. A cafe now on site and several shops which have lots of things to look at but quite pricey. I bought a few books just to contribute as this museum is free entry with donations welcome. If you didn't know this museum stands on the grounds where once stood Bethlehem Royal Hospital Bedlam.
Brilliant throughout, lots of space, although it does get busy.nThe cafe sells quality produce at a price, great seating area.nThe toilets are clean, but the hand-wash facilities need attention, it takes twice as long as it should to wash your hands, water is temperamental, soap, good luck, and drying, you'll be better off blowing them dry.nHowever it was a great day out
It is decades since I last went to the IWM. It has been improved and was fabulous. The interactivity, films, exhibits, talks and hands on areas and the live speeches make it an incredible day out. The Holocaust rooms provide an incredibly moving testimony. The way the story is told and the dark beauty in some of the exhibits shine a powerful light on the darkest and most evil time in human existence.
