Imperial War Museum, London

[Petach]

Visited this great museum on Saturday with my son and grandson. It is housed in what was the Bethlem Psychiatric Hospital (where the term Bedlam comes from) It has a fantastic WW1 exhibition and set out in such a way as to be interesting even to those with a short attention span

The guns you see out front of the building are 15 inch naval guns which saw WW2 action on HMS Ramillies, Resolution and Roberts

This is great place to visit! I spent a day there with my son when we had father and son vacation in London. Btw, vacation as I've had with all of my kids, just two of us, at least once.

I don't have pictures from there, which I've taken, my son grabbed my camera and he just shot and shot. Well, not all so perfect pics, but nevertheless I love those pics for reason!

Life hasn't been easy for my now grow-up son, but this place brings me excellent memories of our week in London and surroundings.
