Taking IWM's own story as its starting point, this exhibition uncovers how cultural
treasures in British museums and galleries were evacuated and protected during the Second World War.
Presenting that which was saved and referencing that which was not, the exhibition will examine the
important wartime role of cultural organisations and the balance they struck between hiding, preserving and
displaying collections.
