The front photo of this postcard shows the classic view of the Imperial War Museum (IWM) London featuring the 15-inch guns from HMS Resolution (left) and HMS Ramilies (right). This view greets you upon entering the front gate of the museum.
Imperial War Museums is the world’s leading museum of war and conflict. Founded while the First World War was still raging, it gives voice to the extraordinary experiences of ordinary people forced to live their lives in a world torn apart by conflict. (Source: IWM)
IWM London is just a short walk (0.5 miles/12 minutes) away from the apartment where our sons live. The spacious garden surrounding the museum building is in itself a great attraction and a good place to just laze around enjoying the greenspace.
Inside the building, one sense a very different feeling than most museums. As a museum dedicated to war and conflict around the world you can't help but be moved by the horror and tragedy experienced by ordinary people (soldiers and civilians alike) through the pictures and collections displayed inside.
