Imperial War Museum
Posted by Marc@leadinlines on Apr 2nd, 2012 | 13 comments
This grand building is the Imperial War Museum in Lambeth, London. Out of all the museums in London, and there are many, this is hands down my favourite. I am very much interested in all things World War II, so this place is a treasure trove of information and exhibits.
The museum was founded during the First World War in 1917 and intended as a record of the war effort and sacrifice of Britain and her Empire. Today the museum gives its mission as “to enable people to have an informed understanding of modern war and its impact on individuals and society”.
These imposing 15-inch guns on display outside the building are from HMS Ramillies, which served in both World Wars.

Great PoV, Marc. The guns have an almost 3D quality to them which really draws the viewer’s attention. Great detail in the rest of the scene, too.
