Childhood in War
Imperial War Museum · Lambeth Rd, London SE1 6HZ, United Kingdom
31 July 2026 - 28 February 2027
Free
A free exhibition tracing how conflict has marked children's lives from 1914 to now, anchored by objects that do the talking: a Holocaust survivor's teddy bear, a rebuilt evacuee train carriage, a Cold War kitchen frozen mid-row. It doesn't soften what war does to the very young, and that refusal to flinch is the right call, not wrong.
