Thanks to generous support from the Blavatnik Family Foundation, Imperial War Museums will open new art, film and photography galleries at IWM London on 10 November 2023, the eve of Armistice Day.
The Galleries will include around 500 works from IWM’s collection, which includes over 23,000 hours of footage and over 12 million photographs.
More contemporary works will include John Singer Sargent’s painting Gassed, Steve McQueen’s response to the 2003 war in Iraq, Queen and Country, and works by artists including Paul Nash, Laura Knight and Rosalind Nashashib. Displays include work filmmakers including Peter Jackson, Geoffrey Malins and Omer Fast.
Paul Seawright’s Mounds, commissioned by IWM in 2002 to respond to the war in Afghanistan, and photographs from John Keane who recorded the war in Iraq in 1991 are also included.
The galleries will include a dedicated Screening Space, showcasing a programme of IWM’s historical film collection, including war epic The German Retreat and Battle of Arras, which has been recently restored by IWM in collaboration with the University of Udine.
