Imperial War Museum London |
|
|
In 1917 the Cabinet decided that a National War Museum should be set up to
collect and display material relating to the Great War, which was then still
being fought. The interest taken by the Dominion governments led to the museum
being given the title of Imperial War Museum. It was formally established by Act
of Parliament in 1920 and a governing Board of Trustees appointed.
The Museum was opened in the Crystal Palace by King George V on 9 June 1920.
From 1924 to 1935 it was housed, under very difficult conditions, in two
galleries adjoining the former Imperial Institute, South Kensington.

Come face to face with a terrifying
T. rex
.
The giant animatronic model is back – beware, its new super-senses
might mean you’re next on its list of victims... Marvel at the power of
its huge jawbone and 15-centimetre-long teeth.

Sir John Soane's Museum |
|
|
Sir John
Soane was born in 1753, the
son of a bricklayer, and died
after a long and distinguished
career, in 1837.
Soane
designed this house to live
in, but also as a setting for
his antiquities and his works
of art. After the death of his
wife (1815), he lived here alone,
constantly adding to and rearranging
his collections. Having been
deeply disappointed by the conduct
of his two sons, one of whom
survived him, he determined
to establish the house as a
museum to which 'amateurs and
students' should have access.
