I always used to see the Imperial War Museum
(IWM) from a distance and had reservations to go inside and have a look.
My beliefs and principles are so strongly against war and glorifying
this destructive and inhumane act… However, the genius,
self-explanatory architecture of the museum’s exterior pulled me in
last week (despite the kids opposing the decision). Am I glad to make
this impulsive decision and go for an adventure of a different sort?
Quite contrary to my expectations, the whole purpose of the museum (in
my opinion) is to show the ugly and horrifying face of the war in
general. The “big picture show” was the highlight of the day. This
award-winning 360° experience (proudly unique to IWM north) which is
shown on the walls of the main exhibition space tells stories of the
people who are affected in the war torn areas of the world. The biggest
surprise of all was when my 9year old and 4year old made me promise to
take them to this museum again this week.
As I am not a skilful
photographer and the photos I took look as horrifying as war itself, I
am not going to share them with you. Instead I put the link below to see
what is going on in the IWM.
