		The individual forms were taken to symbolise war at sea (the water shard), war in the air (the vertical air shard), and war on the ground (the earth shard), Out of that chaotic incidence Libeskind has fashioned this new container.

		Museums are about memory, and the indebtedness of civilisations, through readily accessible, authentic artefacts as relics of the archaeology of war, both private and personal, and collective and communal in their significance today.

		The Imperial War Museum is not perhaps best known for its Art Collection and it is certainly the case that this important and fascinating collection does not currently have as high a profile as its quality would justify.
		It is certainly true that searching on the familiar vocabulary of war and conflict does not reveal the images that may be expected, and that the rich rewards of the collection soon become apparent.
		In World War 2, the initiative was renewed, primarily for propaganda purposes, with an initial intention to draw up a list of official war artists and also to make arrangements for their employment.

		If the traditional idea of a museum or an art gallery is to provide a window through which you look, safely, as into another world, and where the space itself is invisible, Libeskind turned this on its head.
		It is, then, a very personal museum, concerned with one individual, one life, and the theme of inevitability, of claustrophobia, of history closing in, is pre-figured in every room.
		It is not a museum of weapons but a museum designed to express 20th-century conflict; designed, that is, since it is Libeskind, to make us think about conflict not as something external to us - in the past - but as something in which we participate.
