This superb exhibition will give you a real flavour of what it was like to live in Britain during the Second World War. Experience a bombed department store, an air raid shelter, read newspaper cuttings from the Blitz or just marvel at wax models and authentic, old-fashioned paraphernalia from the time. Kids can try on real uniforms and gasmasks and test their knowledge in quizzes and worksheets. There's heaps of information on Britain's most famous Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, as he was the figurehead of the war, but be warned, the exhibition revels in the glories of victory so don't expect much mention of the full savagery of the war. Opening hours below are for April-September. Times are 10a-4:30p M-Su October-March. Admission: £5.95 adults, £3.95 concs, £2.95 children, £14 family ticket.
