Imperial War Museums explores conflict and its impact on people’s lives.
IWM is a family of five museums recording and showcasing experiences of modern conflict. Some of those experiences paint a picture of everyday life in wartime, others give us a glimpse of something exceptional. All of them help us to explore the causes of war and its impact on people’s lives.

Age of Terror: Making Art in Afghanistan
Artist David Cotterell went to Afghanistan in 2007, spending time with British forces and documenting the medical treatment of casualties and their journey away from the frontline to the UK.
His work Gateway II, which uses his photographs from that trip, is on display as part of Age of Terror: Art since 9/11 at IWM London.
