Brilliant throughout, lots of space, although it does get busy. The cafe sells quality produce at a price, great seating area. The toilets are clean, but the hand-wash facilities need attention, it takes twice as long as it should to wash your hands, water is temperamental, soap, good luck, and drying, you'll be better off blowing them dry. However it was a great day out

It took me three separate visits to get to see the whole museum. No need to book tickets in advance. Very interesting. The museum covers world war 1 and 2, the holocaust, and the exhibition I went to covered the fight for independence from British rule after the second world war.

Amazing exhibition. It portrays the war from an interesting point of view: it doesn't focus on battles, but on how war effects the population and the people's experiences of it. It is extremely large, covering the two world wars and the holocaust in three different galleries, which is why I suggest you visit each one on a different day. It can get overwhelming, especially for the matters touched. It is surrounded by a beautiful park, where you can see a piece of the Berlin wall. Strongly recommended!

My second visit ever here I came many years ago and it has changed massively but still as impressive. Over several floors so you need quite a few hours to fully appreciate and explore this place. Many exhibits on display with lots of information,some very impressive artifacts too. A cafe now on site and several shops which have lots of things to look at but quite pricey. I bought a few books just to contribute as this museum is free entry with donations welcome. If you didn't know this museum stands on the grounds where once stood Bethlehem Royal Hospital (Bedlam).

Really good staff in all respects. Good toilets and cafe. Shop nice but pricey in my opinion. Exhibits interesting but not enough of them. Too many gaps and not enough to see physically. Felt like a whole floor was missing which it was, closed off. Overall good but getting a little dated. Would still recommend for schools and overseas visitors. Perhaps some input from current armed forces, loaned exhibits?
