The Imperial War Museum’s first exhibition on the Troubles heads to Manchester’s IWM North following a highly successful run at IWM London.
From 22 March to 29 September 2024, the exhibition unpacks the complex character of our shared history, shining a light on the different narratives experienced by people who lived through the conflict within Northern Ireland and allowing them to share their version of events.
Alongside objects recently acquired as part of an initiative to grow IWM’s Northern Ireland collection, the exhibition also includes archival photography depicting hunger strike riots, streets lined with Army checkpoints and the aftermath of bombings, painting a vivid picture of a country shaped by restrictions and torn apart by violence.
