Horrible Histories: Rotten Rationing

Groups and Schools

Explore the impact of war on people’s lives from the First World War to the present day.  IWM North is home to a diverse collection of artefacts from a Russian tank to a tin of powdered egg; from a make do and mend toy dog to a section of the World Trade Center.

Entry to the Museum is free.  Please allow at least 2-3 hours for your visit.
