Very impressive building, lots of free exhibitions to see and well laid out. One of the best museums in London. I was hesitant and thought it might be quite jingoistic, but it offers a much more nuanced, balanced view of conflict and war around the world. Certainly worth a visit.

I went to see the Wei Wei exhibition and it was awesome ! The museum has 5 levels and all of them was representing war from different era. They were filled with replications of machines used during each war and items to fully understand the atmosphere during that time. It was really interesting !
Besides COVID-19 worried you should absolutely make your way to this museum to gain more knowledge on World War one, WW2 or the cold War. Not only does it have special artifacts from the war it also highlights and showcases important people who might not be mentioned in history book. It it good as it has lots of visual stimuli such as videos! They also have a interesting exhibit on refugees which is a must. It shows how people got into the UK, documentation and previous documents about it. In addition, it is free! Do consider donating of course.
It’s a great museum focused mainly on the first world war. The museum's Sound Archive holds a large collection of oral history recordings of witnesses to conflicts since 1914 and The museum's video archive is one of the oldest film archives in the world. The section dedicated to WW1 warfare is specially interesting, with all the old military equipment and machinery.
Definitely a place to visit but it makes you realise how our Generation is so lucky and how probably weak we are now compared to the Generation from the 1800s, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s that went to war and lost their lives, so many people died back then, jeez, can we just please stop making and selling weapons of mass destruction and be tolerant to asylum seekers and immigrants from war torn countries who only are looking for somewhere to be safe and live the rest of their lives in peace, sorry this review is so deep, but definitely a place to go and visit, I just couldn't help thinking so many people died
A pompous building with a pompous exhibition in the center of London in the middle of a small park. A huge variety of different exhibitions, but the main idea is a retrospective of wars with an emphasis on the First and Second World Wars. For the first time, I saw the T-34 tank with my own eyes. I must note the very high-quality work of the designers who created the exhibitions
It was spectacular to see it inside also the best to go visit less people n able to explore, read and see everything. I really enjoyed it. Imperial War Museum ️ Next it Transport museum
Visiting a war museum in peaceful times doesn't really have the same effect unless there is a conflict going on (but given Britain's habit of sticking it's nose in many affairs, there is always something somewhere) but my interest in aviation/plane spotting still led me there couple of times. Just like so many other world class museums in London, this is also free so you have a right to remain silent and not complain even if you don't like it. But there isn't anything to not like anyway. They have from fighter jets, huge tanks to small objects that personally belonged to some soldiers and millions of hard copy physical pictures. Basically everything and even more that you'd expect in a war museum. The info/display of atom bomb attack on Japan is horrifying and also I saw some pictures of London what it looked like in 2nd world war is really interesting.
