It seeks to provide for, and to encourage, the study and understanding of the history of modern war and 'war-time experience'. It is proud to be regarded as one of the essential sights of London. The information provided here tells you about the permanent displays, the archives, special exhibitions, forthcoming events, education programmes, corporate hospitality and shopping facilities. It describes exciting plans for the future, especially the development of our fifth branch, the Imperial War Museum - North at Trafford, Manchester, due to open in 2002. The Museum is partially government-funded but needs sponsorship and donations to sustain its ambitious programmes.
Any contributions are welcome.
Please enjoy your visit, take advantage of the contact numbers, and return soon to see updates. I hope it will encourage you to make plans to visit the Imperial War Museum as soon as possible.
