Visit the Imperial War Museum!
Details
Come along on Sunday 19th October for a visit to the Imperial War Museum!
About the museum
Founded in 1917, the museum reopened in 2014 after a £25m refurbishment, which includes new WW1 galleries telling the story of the war.
The museum has occupied the former Bethlem Royal Hospital site since 1936. It holds over 11 million items relating to wars fought in by Britain and the Commonwealth over the last 110 years. The museum also has seperate exhibitions on the holocaust, a family in war, the secret war (about spies & codebreaking) and paintings of war.
There is a lot to see in the museum, so best to just go round two galleries - the WW1 gallery is the recently refurbished one.
The visit should last 2 hours and is self-guided. We can't do a guided tour around the museum, but I can answer any questions whilst we are going around.

Entry is free!
