I don't think you'd get that long out of it. It's interesting, but you'd be in and out within an hour.

Cheers. Will give that a miss unless there's something near-by to do as well.
When we went to the Museum of London, I think we all sort of deliberately slowed the pace because we all thought that after the Romans, it was just Great Fire. After 3 hrs we decided to go to the boozer, but looking in the gift shop, we found that there was a whole section on the Suffragettes at the end that we'd missed.
When we went to the NPG, we only got to the very start of Victoria - but that's got enough left for a 2nd full visit.
Do you have any recommendations?
{The one time in my life all my study of mil-hist came in useful was when we went to the IWM. They decided to go from the top and work our way down. There was the Ashford VC collection there, and I said can we have a quick pop in. Just so I can see if Chevasse's is in there. Yet because I could fill in lots of background about who many of these soldiers were or the wars and campaigns esp in India etc, and how the medals system and the army worked etc, we spent about an hour in there and they both said afterwards that I'd made it thoroughly enjoyable for them much to their surprise.
Also, one of the girls is German, so when we got to the Nazi bit, she could translate.
Have you any idea how many different signs they put up saying that Jews bring you bad luck in various different ways?}
Berni and I once spent a wonderful morning strolling around the National Army Museum, before partaking of a lunch of shawarma and several bottles of very quaffable Chateau Musar. Not wishing to waste the afternoon we repaired to a public house and drank steadily until falling out time.
I commend this course of action to you unreservedly.
