A grand building, a beautiful park and interesting exhibits. The Imperial War Museum has much to offer. My visit was to see the exhibition "Lee Miller: A Woman's War". A selection of photographs that document Miller's life from model to reporter for Vogue magazine in the early part of her career, and then war correspondent. She became a reputable war photographer, one of the first women to bring back images from the war zones.
Many of the images in the exhibition are from the Lee Miller archives set up by her son Anthony Penrose following her death in 1977. A fascinating life of an extraordinary woman.
The exhibition runs until April 2016.
