IWM London Closures

Please note the following changes to our gallery spaces and opening times:

  • The Western Front section of the First War Galleries will be closed until mid July.

We apologise for any inconvenience these changes may cause.

We are also transforming IWM London with a series of redevelopment projects over the next decade. The first phase of the project will launch in 2014, the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War.

In order to progress with our exciting plans, there will be some disruption to our gallery spaces in the autumn of 2012 whilst we are moving our large objects. From January 2013, IWM London will be temporarily closed for a period of six months. 

To find out more about our project visit Transforming IWM London.

IWM London is closed every year on 24, 25 and 26 December.
