Few museums greet you with canons, but the Imperial War Museum London, aptly encamped within the duck-egg dome and classical pillars of the Georgian former Bedlam hospital, adorns its lawn with heavy artillery. The Imperial War Museum London examines the impact of war on soldiers and civilians, from the First World War until today. Its permanent exhibitions include The Holocaust Exhibition, the Lord Ashcroft Gallery and The Secret War exhibition.
Multimedia guides are available from the Information Desk in English, French, Italian and German.
