Peace for Your Time? explores Britain's involvement in international conflict and peace post-1945.


It challenges the idea that we are no longer a 'nation at war' and examines changing public attitudes towards conflict and the concept of 'victory' in the modern era.


The exhibition includes people's memories of the end of the Second World War and also examines more recent conflicts, including the Falklands War and the Gulf War, as well as the effects which conflict has had and continues to have on life in Britain.
