Until 27 April 2025
War and the Mind is a free exhibition at IWM London exploring war’s many psychological dimensions, from the First World War to the present day.
What motivates people to start and support wars? How do humans think, feel and act during conflict? How do we make sense of the devastating conflicts that have shaped our world?
