Imperial War Museum

My visit to the Imperial War Museum was like a peek into the stories behind conflict. It is a collection of artifacts, but shows also how war shapes people and the world we know today. From the beginning you can see aircraft suspended overhead and then journey through the WWI and WWII galleries to see personal letters, photographs, and testimony. I found it very emotional but with clear history of countries and their peoples. From the video, audio, personal accounts, and history it was an amazing museum.

Outside the museum is a section of the Berlin wall.

They even had a simulated bunker to walk through.

Jewel tower

This is across from the Palace of Westminster, and is one of London’s quietest medieval structures. It was built in 1365 to safeguard the treasures of Edward III. It was also used to hold royal documents. It has great information that complements all the other sites. It did have a lot of stairs!
