Cultural collections description
The Imperial War Museum is unique in its coverage of conflicts, especially those involving Britain and the Commonwealth, from the First World War to the present day. It seeks to provide for, and to encourage, the study and understanding of the history of modern war and how it affects our lives. An extensive collection on the Holocaust is permanently on display in The Holocaust Exhibition, whilst the Crimes against humanity film, again on permanent display looks at the effects of genocide across the world.
