The Children’s War looked at WW2 through the eyes of British children and was the first major exploration of themes such as evacuation, threat of gas attacks, air raid precautions, rationing, school and work, pastimes and entertainment.
Covering two floors of the IWM Lambeth, London site, the exhibition boasts a recreation of an Anderson shelter, toys and clothing from the period and numberous interactive screens that encourage visitors of all ages to explore the children’s experience of the conflict.
