IWM London
IWM London is closed until 29 July 2013. This temporary period of closure is allowing us to safely and securely deliver the most disruptive construction works needed to transform our museum.
We will partially reopen on 29 July 2013 with a major new family exhibition Horrible Histories®: Spies; a new programme of contemporary art and photography, IWM Contemporary; and a rehang of our art collection, Architecture of War.
From July 2013 to Summer 2014 we will be continuing with our transformation. During this period, access around the museum will be limited and the main atrium and large objects will be covered from view.
In Summer 2014 we will launch brand new First World War Galleries, a transformed atrium redisplaying our large objects including aircrafts, tanks and artillery, as well as, new shops and a park-side café.
