Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms

Ambiance très bien restituée de la vie pendant la guerre dans cette enceinte à l'abri des bombes, la vie de reclus dans ces espaces restreint. Mais le point fort de ce musée c'est la description minutieuse de la vie de Churchill, de sa naissance à sa mort, dans ses moments difficiles comme dans ses moments de gloire, dans sa vie professionnelle et familiale ... Incroyablement complet, objectif, superbement illustré par de nombreuses vidéos. Seul bémol : difficile de trouver le fil conducteur dans cette grande salle. Point intéressant : l'audio-guide en français mais explications un peu courtes. Encore un détail : n'y emmenez pas de jeunes enfants

This is an excellent museum and not to be missed if you have any interest in WWII. The Churchill Exhibition is very well done with plenty to keep the whole family occupied (although young children may struggle). We only expected to be in there for an hour or two, but ended up spending close to 4 hours reading, listening and watching many of the exhibits. As is the case with many of the tourist attractions in London the entry can be a little steep, however if you have an Oyster Card (which I would recommend getting if you are visiting London) you can currently get 2 for the price of 1 entry.

I'm not a ww2 survivor or contemporary of that war, nor a Churchill buff, nor a spelunker. But this was a highlight of our trip last year, and we'll go back this year. This museum brings history to life and is an intimate, fascinating look at an individual who changed the twentieth century. just go, take your time, and soak up the well-presented material--then get every child or teen you know to go with you and learn about the war that set the stage for the political-economic system we live in today.
