Quite ironic timing, just when we are marking the Great War.

It's been a while since I visited the Imperial War Museum, but IIRC there wasn't an admission charge.
At least in the USA that's pretty unusual.
BTW signed and donated

Quite a few UK museums have similar problems, such as The Science Museum Group, which includes the National Railway Museum and the Museum of Science & Industry in Manchester.

Time to re-introduce admission charges?
