Come along on Sunday 8th November for a visit to the Imperial War Museum! **About the museum** Founded in 1917, the museum reopened in 2014 after a £25m refurbishment, which includes new WW1 galleries telling the story of the war. The museum has occupied the former Bethlem Royal Hospital site since 1936. It holds over 11 million items relating to wars fought in by Britain and the Commonwealth over the last 110 years. The museum also has separate exhibitions on the holocaust, a family in war, the secret war (about spies & codebreaking) and paintings of war. There is a lot to see in the museum, so best to just go round two galleries. The visit should last 2 hours and is self-guided. We can't do a guided tour around the museum, but I can answer any questions whilst we are going around. **Cost** Entry is free! **Become a Full Member** To become a Full Member (£14 a year), either: \- Pay cash at an event \- Pay via Bank Transfer \(TSB Bank plc\, Sort code: 77\-66\-65\, Account no: 00030809\, Account name: Cultureseekers\) \- Pay via credit card on the day or in advance \([https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QHZ1Y3UB](https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QHZ1Y3UB)) \- go to PayPal \- [https://www.paypal.com/uk/](https://www.paypal.com/uk/), then click on 'Pay & Get Paid‘, then click on 'Send Money’, put in the email address: general@cultureseekers.org in the 'Send Money' box, then 'Next' and then enter the amount to pay.
