What Remains - a free exhibition at IWM London
From the Nazi theft of art and the bombing of cathedrals in Coventry and Dresden to the destruction of objects from Mosul Museum in Iraq, war devastates lives, kills people and destroys the cultural heritage that they hoped would outlive them. Sometimes destruction is accidental, but often our cherished places, objects and stories are deliberately targeted in conflict.
What Remains, Historic England's new exhibition in partnership with IWM London, explores why cultural heritage is attacked during war and the ways we save, protect and restore what is targeted. Over 50 photographs, oral histories, objects and artworks will be on display, from both IWM and Historic England's collections.
What Remains is open until 5 January 2020 at: IWM London, Lambeth Road, London, SE1 6HZ
Open everyday 10am - 6pm. Free entry.
