Mike's review

Visited 2022

Striking exhibits. I visited with several friends who didn’t know what to expect from a “War Museum” upon leaving one remarked “maybe it’s better called an impact of war museum.”

From the source

Free Lambeth museum covering modern conflict, military history, and the effect of war on everyday lives. Plan enough time for the permanent galleries, and check separately for paid special exhibitions.
