The Imperial War Museum finally re-opens today after a £40 million refit

It now features a transformed atrium space and new World War One galleries, which are trailed in this film by Aardman, the company behind Wallace & Grommit:


The current exhibition is Truth and Memory; British Art of World War One, and they’re selling a limited edition Bob & Roberta Smith print commemorating the lost artists of World War One, so they are really trying to make up for lost time with the WW1 commemorations.

The museum is open 10am to 6pm with last admission at 5.30pm. Welcome back ILM. We will be visiting soon and will report back from the recreated trenches on the new look cafe and the rest.
