Secrets of the Imperial War Museum: Episode 2
At IWM’s flagship site in Lambeth Road, London, a team is racing to complete an ambitious set of new galleries dedicated to telling the story of the Second World War and the Holocaust in a new way. Cameras also focus on IWM Duxford, where the museum’s rare Mark 1 Spitfire is being serviced. It’s undergoing a rigorous test flight to check it’s ready to take to the skies for the first airshow of the season.
For the first time, the Imperial War Museum has allowed cameras behind the scenes. This series uncovers rarely heard first-hand accounts, and reveals the pressure faced by hundreds of IWM experts and volunteers as they work to preserve the most important objects and stories from our wartime past.
