The First World War Galleries are part of the first phase of the Transforming IWM London project. The layered, scenographic structure blends the displays of large and small physical objects with digital media elements, projections, suggestive soundscapes and human voices telling their stories. Quotes, anecdotes and excerpts drawn from the IVM's vast archive of personal letters, diaries, documents and orders are woven together with objects, artefacts and photographs to tell the story through personal experience and reflection.
