Film screenings, IWM London
Formerly Bethlem Royal Hospital – or Bedlam, as it was commonly known – the building became home to the Imperial War Museum in 1936.
Explore some of the most important weapons and vehicles from the twentieth century, including a Spitfire that saw action in the Battle of Britain.
A defining characteristic of combat on the Western Front, trench warfare is explored in detail in our First World War Galleries.
Two First World War aircraft are displayed at IWM London, including a BE2c - an early two-seat reconnaissance machine.
The Large Exhibits Gallery allows visitors to get up close to all types of military equipment, from field guns to tanks.
View key works from our significant twentieth century art collection, including John Singer Sargent’s 'Gassed', and see contemporary artists’ responses to conflict.
We are currently planning a new Continuing Professional Development (CPD) offer. A comprehensive programme of events will suit the needs of a variety of teachers at all stages of their careers.
We welcome enquiries from teacher training institutions that wish to take part in full or half day seminars with IWM staff and will work with tutors to provide an experience which meets the needs of their course. Sessions can include enquiry using our object dialogue box, using museum collections to teach historical skills, improving historical knowledge and approaches to teaching the Holocaust.
Programmes for Museum and Gallery Studies students and other university groups can be tailored to suit your needs.
We work with police forces, currently serving military personnel and other organisations to provide diversity and other professional development training. Programmes from a single workshop to whole day sessions including discussions and visits to The Holocaust Exhibition can be arranged.
