Imperial War Museum


The Imperial War Museum has become an excellent showcase of the experience of war.  It has transformed itself from a celebration of military success and different ways of killing and maiming into a museum about the realities of war.  The museum is good for kids and adults.  It features excellent actors leading mini-tours in costume.  The new Holocaust exhibition is a bold step, and the Blitz Gallery is atmospheric.  The travelling and rotating exhibitions are world-class.  Housed in a former insane asylum, the Imperial War Museum offers a unique vista on modern warfare.  The museum is a great educational opportunity; if you need to transport a large group of students to the Imperial War Museum, consider reserving a school coach to make the job easier.

  2. If you are ever travelling up north consider staying in a serviced apartment in Manchester instead of a hotel.
