I meant to post these pics from the Imperial War Museum ages ago (they’re from June last year), so apologies for the delay.<\/p>\n

It’s a great museum to visit anyway, so if these pics encourage you to visit the place, then it’s a job well done!<\/p>\n

The museum, located in Lambeth Road near central London, is anything but a celebration of war or the military.<\/p>\n

Instead, it\u00a0tasks itself with telling the stories of people\u2019s experiences of modern war, and some of the exhibits can be sobering, uncomfortable and sometimes harrowing to view.<\/p>\n

I left feeling incredibly grateful to be living in an age where I wasn’t going to be sent off to war, and a sadness that so many people continue to suffer as a result of ongoing conflicts around the world.<\/p>\n

When I visited, there was a temporary exhibition by British documentary and portrait photographer Edward Barber showing protest scenes outside RAF\/USAF Greenham Common and RAF\/USAF Molesworth, Cambridgeshire.<\/p>\n

In June 1980, during the Cold War, it was announced that 160 American nuclear cruise missiles would be stationed at these bases, leading\u00a0to an increase in support for the British anti-nuclear movement.<\/p>\n
