Imperial War Museum, London

The Imperial War Museum, London has been newly refurbished and now features a vast array of weapons and vehicles as well as a range of exhibitions, including RAF planes, tanks and amphibious vehicles.

From 2014 the focus is on the centenary of the First World War. Visit our galleries and art exhibition about World War 1, plus the Holocaust exhibit, while modern warfare features through a body of work about Afghanistan.

There is a fascinating Curiosities of War exhibit and a look at families in wartime. 

The Horrible Histories team have also put together an exhibit on spies!
