Parking expensive but entry is free with a donation. Very large complex with lots to see. Word war 1 was very good. They have modern weapons and the history behind them is very intresting. They have lots of seating so you can go at nice relaxed pace and rest inbetween rooms. They have a tower with a nice walk way...

Great place to visit. Some really interesting exhibitions to see. A good overview of military history from the WW1 to present. Entry is free too. I'd recommend the museum to everyone
This is a brilliant place to visit so if you are in the North don't miss this place. Also just over the bridge from the museum is another great venue in the North so you can have a great day out for next to nothing.

brilliant place to go it was very busy but all the staff were very helpful and knew there stuff great things to look at from every conflict weve been involved wth its well worth a vist and its free

Our second visit to this musuem and went to see two specific exhibitions..Iraq Photographs by Sean Smith and Saving Lives Frontline Medicine in a Century of Conflict. Both were fasinating and well worth a visit. Staff are friendly and very helpful and The Metro makes it so easy to get to.
Impressive building housing interesting, educational & sometimes very moving exhibits from all theatres of war from World War1 & 2 to the present conflict in Afghanistan. Well presented exhibits & memorabilia suitable for people covering all ages from the quite young to the 'very mature' & a gift shop selling small mementos of times past.
The interactive exhibits & "Horrid...

A great modern building housing a very well thought out museum. The views from the air shard are worth it on a clear day. The building materials themselves are wearing very well and the atmosphere inside is appropriate to the content. The changing exhibitions make regular visits worth the trip
