A really great museum with fantastic exhibits and information. Educational without glorifying war. The holocaust information was sobering, giving perspective on the changes in Germany post WW1. Similar for WW1 display very interactive and poignant Some rare military hardware on show Many war arenas are covered not just WW1 & 2
Was a great experience! Definitely will be back! The exhibits were informative and helpful, lots to look at. It's a full day, which we didn't expect but we pleasantly enjoyed it. The only set back is the cafe/bistro. Absolutely appalling the prices for the quality of food. About a 200% markup on everything. Cash not accepted either.
Wonderful experience. If you care about. War history this is the place to go. Amazing collections of items. I learned a lot.. Very well organized. Handicap friendly. Excellent Museum shop and very friendly staff here. This was on my bucket list and I'm very happy to have had an opportunity to see this place and spend time. Thank you staff!
Excellent place for everyone who wants to know more about the history of the two world wars. The exhibitions covers political aspects, the battles and the life of the common people during the era. With the aid of the documents, photos and items during the time, visitors could have a profound feeling of the events. The museum also encourage visitors to think how the world wars related to them. An educational and meaningful place.
I would love to visit this museum. I visited it three times in 5 years. It has not changed much in each visit, but I focus on one of the sections each time. I suggest adding more souvenirs in the store. Also, the main internal entrance is flawed, because its colors are overlapping with the military pieces of missiles and planes.
Surprisingly impressive and educational. At some times a deeply moving experience. It is so saddening that humans inflict such devastation on each other. Hopefully by having a museum reminds us of the horrors of war and avoids future conflict. Well presented museum. Worth a visit!
What a place! Friendly welcome from staff. The museum is very clean,tidy and smart looking. There's so much to take in! Didn't manage to see everything before my kids legs had had enough.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Very interesting museum. Thought provoking, emotional and exciting all rolled into one. Highly recommend to visit, fantastic that it's free & available for everyone to learn from. Set in beautiful grounds too where we enjoyed a lovely picnic in the warm winter sunshine, plenty of picnic tables & benches available to use.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Just a five minute walk from Lambeth north underground, the IWM is easy to get to. The museum is free to access and has a massive coastal gun outside its doors. The museum runs live activities through the day at certain times but in general their is three floors of war history to see. From the WW1 to some more modern wars. They have some nice presentations that I wish not to spoil. A good way to fill two hours. They have a cafe inside. I would recommend if you have never been before.
Really well set out. You can look round for ages. The new Holocaust display is very humbling. Quite eerie but not in an uncomfortable way. Really makes you think how lucky we are. This is real History that all our young ones should have the chance to see and hear about.
