Imperial War Museum North

Imperial War Museum North, or IWM North, provides an exciting free day out for all the family and brings to life stories of how war has shaped lives over the past century. A varied programme of events, activities and hands-on interactive displays makes the subject matter accessible to all ages.

Discover how war shapes lives through revealing powerful stories, such as a soldier's last letter home, to objects like the twisted steel of the World Trade Centre. Housed in a building representing a globe torn apart by conflict, this is a unique place to find out more about conflict during the last century.
