Since I’d visited a smaller counterpart in Auckland a few years ago I quite by no real plan decided to visit London’s larger more involved galleries. Quite an achievement actually, with more information than one could possibly digest in months if they had the chance. War is a catalyst for so much that has become part of our culture, be it technology or art, it’s hard to imagine a world without it’s influence, as noxious and pointless as it often is.
Detailed exhibits on both world wars and all other conflicts, wartime poster art, camouflage, spying and a breathtakingly comprehensive and exhausting wing on the Holocaust were enthralling but left me somewhat numb. A realistic walk through of a WWI trench was fascinating enough to merit a couple trips through, though I found few people took the time to imagine themselves in a similar situation, as was the point of the exhibit.
