Although I've never been to the Imperial War Museum in London, I understand that it is much larger tan the one in Manchester. But the one in Manchester was fine for me. The intent was to show how people's lives are impacted by war. Primary focus areas (and those that were most interesting to me from an historical perspective) were WWI and WWII. Also covered were Korea, Vietnam, the Cold War and the Gulf Wars.
One of the unique features of this museum is that the movies were displayed throughout the venue, ot just in a theater. Everyone could see from their own vantage point. Interesting and effective presentation.
An interesting way to spend a rainy afternoon.
