CityLife

This is the first major exhibition held by the Imperial War Museum to examine the experience of prisoners of war during the Second World War, the qualities and endurance called upon to survive, and the lasting legacy of an often harsh environment. Using an engaging mix of objects, art, documents, photographs, film and sound, the exhibition reveals the incredible personal stories and experiences of men and women, service and civilian, during periods of captivity in Britain, Europe and the Far East that in many cases lasted for several years.
