The IWM was created in 1917 to collect and display material relating to World War I. In 1939 the Museum started adding artefacts from the Second World War, including memorabilia from modern conflicts.

The Holocaust was very detailed. Lots of great information & interactive displays. The WWI Art exhibit was my favorite when I went Feb 2015. The Afghanistan exhibit was my 2nd favorite.

Every military history enthusiast should visit this museum at least once. Amazing variety of artifacts from both world wars and the Cold War. The World War 1 exhibit is particularly breathtaking.

One of the best museums in the world. So many exhibits means that you can easily spend a whole day engrossing yourself in history here. Cafe staff are rude but the museum staff are great.
