From April our new exhibition will reveal the important contribution the North West made during the First World War.
Marking the 100 year commemoration we have gathered together the largest showcase of the region, which includes over 200 objects, films, sound recordings, photographs, artworks and letters. The displays include items from IWM’s unrivalled national collections and from personal public donated items, many of which have never been on public display before.
Find out how the war affected the region and discover how the society we live in today was born out of the rapid changes that resulted from the First World War.
Discover stories of remarkable individuals - from subsequent Prime Minister Clement Attlee, poet Wilfred Owen and celebrity musician Vesta Tilley, to previously unknown Tommies, medics and civilians.
Founded in 1917 to mark the sacrifices made by civilians and soldiers alike, IWM is a world leading authority on the First World War. This will be IWM’s first major exhibition marking the centenary in 2014.
