Imperial War Museum London England

Imperial War Museum London / Sutton 16 April 2016
Britain has been a part of the world's wars for centuries. The Imperial War Museum in London is worth a visit to understand the life of soldiers as well as the lives of those at home. Because the wars involved many world powers, there's much to learn about other nations as well. Of course, the machinery of war is also on display in the air and on the ground. Well worth a visit.

The presence of RAF planes hanging from the ceiling illustrate the size of the museum.


There are tanks and other large war machines and vehicles on display.









A number of story boards and posters explain or illustrate various exhibits.
