Abstract :
THE IMPERIAL War Museum´s main London site will re-open in July following a ??35m transformation that has seen the First World War Galleries completely revamped in time for the centenary commemorations of the conflict, which began in August 1914. The atrium has also been reconfigured to display large exhibits. The previous First World War Galleries were designed in the 1980s using the traditional ´show and tell´ concept of showcasing an object alongside a printed caption. Now, 30 years on, IWM London is taking advantage of developments in technology to modernise its space and engage visitors using digital screens, interactive world maps and sensor-enabled experiences.
