Collection history (Wikipedia)
In 2005 the War Rooms were rebranded as the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms, with 850 m2 (9,100 sq ft) of the site redeveloped as a biographical museum exploring Churchill’s life, the development of which cost a further £6 million raised from private funds. The museum makes extensive use of audiovisual technology, with the centrepiece being a 15-metre (50 ft) interactive table that enables visitors to access digitised material, particularly from the Churchill Archives Centre. The museum is set out in chronological chunks, beginning with Churchill’s appointment as Prime Minister in 1940 and going up to the end of his life in 1965 before starting again with his childhood and returning to May 1940.
