Impressive overview of the major UK battle of the last century. Especially the first World War and the Holocaust exhibits. Spent some 3 hours to see all floors around the central atrium. Free entrance and many helpfull staff. A voluntary donation is welcomed.
An outstanding museum from start to finish. The exhibits are rich with detail and incredibly well curated, offering a thoughtful look at conflict and its impact on real people. The combination of objects, film, sound, and storytelling makes everything feel vivid and meaningful. It’s easy to lose track of time because every section draws you in. A must‑visit for anyone interested in history or simply looking for a powerful, memorable day out.
Imperial War Museum is not just a museum – it’s an experience that hits you. A MUST GO, no question. The moment you walk in, you realize you’re not just looking at exhibits, but real human stories – courage, discipline, and also pain. It’s presented in such a powerful and immersive way that it really pulls you in. What stands out the most is the realization of how much lies behind every war – not just weapons, but human lives and destinies. The exhibitions are incredibly well done: interactive, emotional, and deeply educational. This is not your typical “quick museum visit” – it’s something that truly opens your eyes and changes your perspective. If you’re in London, you simply have to visit it.
A very extensive museum covering both world wars in an informative and visually appealing way. Volunteers are super helpful if you have any questions, lockers are available on site as well. If you are a history buff or WW buff plan about 4-5 hours.
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.
