We will discuss the experience of the individuals caught up in the fighting on the front line and back home, as well as looking at the broader strategy of the combatants. We will also visit the IWM’s new Blavatnik Art, Film and Photography Galleries that showcase the experiences and innovations of artists, filmmakers and photographers,. The tour will be tailored to your individual interests, so whether you want an overview of the whole museum or 'deep dives' into the history of a particular conflict, this tour is for you.
