Imperial War Museums is a British national museum organisation with branches at five locations in England, three of which are in London.
Informative excellent displays. Visit spoilt somewhat by numerous school visits. Children running around, noisy and not particularly well managed by adults accompanying them. Made concentrating on the information difficult.School visits would be better scheduled and managed through the museum, to allow everyone to see the exhibits.
We visited IWM north whilst on a short break in Manchester. It is free to get in, the exhibits were very engaging and the short immersive film shows throughout the day were interesting and broke the visit up. There were quite a few school parties but maybe that's to be expected. The prices in the cafe were a little expensive.
The IWM is one of the most disgusting war focused museums I have ever visited, and I've visited most. No discount for veterans or service personnel, the very people who've made the story of conflict are ostracized. The removal of the VC medels, most who made the ultimate sacrifice, life changing injuries and were prepared to suffer the former sacrifices. The IWM is a disgrace to the military and civilians who have died and endured the fear of conflict. Sack the board and most of the right on staff.
Why have I bothered? Cannot get customer service? Cut off 3 times in a row? Can’t join because I’m disabled??? (Serious complaint going in about this one)as no one knows anything about assistance persons or animals - must be nice to be 100% perfect, I wouldn’t know! This complaint is backdated for just over a week!
