The end of the Victoria Cross collection at the Imperial War Museum in London
¤ Mar 2025 Jan René Westh	Information
Last chance to experience the impressive collection is June 1st this year.
Victoria Cross (Foto: Wikipedia (Arghya1999)) June 1st, 2025 marks the end of the amazing exhibition of Victoria Crosses and George Crosses on display at the Imperial War Museum for the last 15 years, courtesy of Lord Ashcroft. The museum needs more space for new exhibitions, and although VCs and GCs will still be on display, it will not be to the extent of the fantastic exhibition currently shown.
