Education at Imperial War Museum London

Welcome to the Education Department at Imperial War Museum London. Our mission is to develop educational provision for the widest possible audience.

The Museum has extensive historical displays on the two world wars and post-war conflicts.  These exhibitions chart chronologically, through artefacts, documents, film, photographs and oral accounts the main events. 

We aim to interpret the collections imaginatively to all levels of interest and provide the fullest range of learning opportunities, addressing contemporary and historical issues, meeting the needs of the national curriculum and providing life-long learning opportunities.

SCHOOL BOOKINGS:
Due to an exceptional demand for educational visits, there is now very limited availability for the following in the Autumn 2008 term.  Find out more...
