		War shapes lives, but these days architects shape museums; these are the messages, declared and otherwise, of the Imperial War Museum North, which opens to the public on 5 July.
		Starting with the Guggenheim Bilbao, museum directors around the world have clamoured to retain the services of top architects, to build not just new exhibition spaces, but new landmarks to which private hires and tourists will be expected to flock, forgetting, it seems, that museums are not sculptures, but institutes for preservation, display and research.
		Museums today do more and more to bring a “message” to their visitors, who are consequently less and less willing to draw their own conclusions.

		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.
