	Welcome to the Imperial War Museum
		The wars of the twentieth century have affected each and every one of us in some way, and the Imperial War Museum is here to tell all our stories, covering all aspects of life in wartime.
		The Churchill Museum is the first national museum dedicated to Sir Winston Churchill. It is housed in the unique setting of the Cabinet War Rooms, the underground complex where Churchill and his government met as bombs rained down on London in 1940.
		War memorials are a familiar sight in the landscape of the UK (United Kingdom). They provide insight into not only the changing face of commemoration but also military history, social history and art history.

		The Churchill Museum -- a project of the Imperial War Museum, which budgeted about $11.3 million for the initiative -- is an expansion into existing space that was part of the original complex.
		Churchill ranks as one of the most quotable speakers of the 20th century, and the museum resounds with recordings of his famous speeches.

	The New York Times > Arts > Art & Design > Museum Review \| Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms: ...
		Churchill's presence is strenuously condensed into 9,000 square feet, an underground extension of the bunkerlike basement "war rooms" where, as prime minister during the Second World War, Churchill met with his cabinet whenever the risk aboveground was too great.
		This is the first museum in Britain devoted to Churchill, and on Thursday Queen Elizabeth II came to pay tribute to to her first prime minister (when he returned to office in the 1950's) and by all accounts her favorite.
		Trumping it all is a 50-foot table dividing the museum's display room in two, a high-tech "Lifeline," that responds (a bit sluggishly) to the movement of fingers on touch panels to "open" a timeline of Churchill's life, potentially displaying 4,600 pages of documents, 1,150 photographs and 206 animations, many erupting in sound and light.
