THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM
	This free museum is an interesting place for adults and children where they can see, in the large main hall, enormous tanks and other vehicles, and planes strung in the roof. You can walk through the atmospheric 1st World War trenches with the smells and noises and sit in an air-raid shelter of the 2nd World War which shakes as the ‘bombs’ fall around you.  Displays cover all aspects of war since the 1914-18 war, and emphasizes the courage and sacrifice of those involved, both in the front line and at home.  There is a popular ‘1940s house’ to see what life was like then. At the moment there is an exhibition, ‘Women at War’, until April 18th, starting with Boadicea and Elizabeth 1st, going on to World War One and to recent times.  It shows women at work, apart from the armed forces, nursing, land army etc.  In May there will be a special exhibition marking the 60th anniversary of D-Day. Bus 344 takes you to the door of the museum, from Bishopsgate, outside Liverpool Street Station.
