Britain at War Museum.


Here are the chairs that contributed to the idea that we were in a WWII Bunker.



On Sunday, Amanda and I went to the Britain at War Museum. It was an old WWII bunker. The museum was mainly of mannequins in 40s garb during 40s activities like drinking at the bar and sleeping on bunk beds. :)
While we walked through there was something on the overhead that said air raid and there was some shaking. There were tons of posters about the war (Loose lips sink ships) and of movie stars from that era (i.e. Fred Astire). There was one part of the museum that really tugged on my heartstrings and that was these mannequin children with tags saying who they were, waiting for the train to come and evacuate them. It reminded me of Chronicles of Narnia.

And we got to hear Winston Churchill on the radio.
