– National Army Museum used to be better than Imperial War Museum, with fascinating displays and lots of information.
– Its First World War and Napoleonic galleries were excellent, featuring models, uniforms, weapons, equipment, paintings, and people’s accounts and experiences.
– Since the refurbishment, it has become more about concepts and lacks substance compared to the older museum.
– The galleries seem confused and give the impression that management is embarrassed by the subject matter.
– Some concepts are barely related to the army’s history. For example, one gallery focused on the army’s influence on civilian art.
– The artistic display of weapons in a war-like gallery raises questions about its target audience.
– Previous exhibitions on reconstructive surgery and a walk through an Afghan alleyway with hidden IEDs were thought-provoking and gave insight into Britain’s wars to civilians.
Overall: Mixed opinions exist regarding National Army Museum. While some praise its previous displays and engagement with historical artifacts/events (👍), others feel that post-refurbishment it focuses more on abstract concepts rather than presenting substantial historical content (⚠️).
