In June 2012 I visited the excellent Imperial War Museum in London. As you enter the main doors you are immediately within the Grand Atrium, the impressive centrepiece of the museum jam-packed with aircraft, tanks, weaponry and people.
Recently I was quite surprised to see some photos of an almost empty Grand Atrium!
It turns out the museum is about to close for a six month major renovation (from January 1st, 2013). This will actually be the first stage of a 10 year plan to totally transform the museum with a new atrium and added galleries (costing £35 million, of which they have already raised £20 million!). Although the current museum is relatively small they have an incredible collection of military history. I can only imagine how impressive it is going to be when they can include so many more items from World War One to the present day!
I’ve been there two years ago during a citytrip to London. I really enjoyed the visit. With this renovation I’ll have to go back in 2014 🙂
