UK’s first war and conflict gallery planned

Imperial War Museums (IWM) is preparing the UK’s first art, film and photography gallery on war and conflict.

The gallery is expected to open to the public at IWM London late 2023, with exhibitions spanning the First World War to present day.

IWM Director General Diane Lees said the chosen mediums provide "unique insight" into how artists interpret conflict. 

“They can dramatically enhance our understanding of war and conflict and also radically challenge it.”

Lees thanked the Blavatnik Family Foundation for supporting the galleries' creation.
