Life during war
This exciting exhibition tells us what life was like for children during World War II. It is a temporary exhibition you can find in the Imperial War Museum near the Waterloo railway station. It presents objects, bags children wore when they were evacuated from London and major cities. Likewise, when Germany threatened to invade England, all children were sent to the countryside. In general, you went to your school or at least your class, to villages, where children were distributed amongst volunteer families. You can see the propaganda that incites city families to send their children, and the countryside to host them.
One million children were evacuated, the largest movement of people in the country's history. There are also advertisements that encourage parents to make a greater effort to conserve food, especially milk for their children. The children had a larger ration of milk and meat, and also more places for clothes. Downstairs, a whole house, teaches you about everyday life during the war, a classroom ... and testimonies of how they lived. Free and great for kids.
