IWM Patrons

Help to give our past a future

IWM Patrons play a vital role in helping us to enable people to understand the causes, course and consequences of war and its impact on peoples’ lives.

As a Patron you will enjoy a very special relationship with IWM. Our Patrons will receive a tailor-made event programme including invitations to Private Views and privileged behind-the-scenes insights into IWM’s rich and diverse collections.
