The museum’s name is inspired by Winston Churchill’s famous "Iron Curtain" speech, delivered at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, in 1946. It was a defining moment that set the tone for the Cold War, and our museum continues to explore the effects of that era on the world today.

VISIT THE MUSEUM
DISPLAYS
We are an anti-war museum. While we don't shy away from showcasing the machinery and tools of war, our core message is about peace and understanding. We believe that teaching the futility of war is essential to building a better, more harmonious future.
museum tours
Available at 10:30, 12:30, and 2:30 on weekends. Each tour provides in-depth commentary on the displays and the broader context of the Cold War.
School visits
We encourage school and group visits to our museum, as we believe it’s crucial to educate younger generations about the lessons of the Cold War and the importance of peace. Get in touch with us to arrange an engaging, informative experience that brings history to life and sparks meaningful discussions about the past and its impact on today's world.
More about
our brand
Our museum offers an immersive experience through outdoor displays of military hardware from the Cold War era—tanks, trucks, missiles, and more. These artifacts bring history to life and are complemented by exhibits of historical paraphernalia that span various aspects of life during the Cold War.
Our goal is not only to show the military might of the era but also to delve into the social, cultural, and political changes that shaped the world. With unique displays you won’t find anywhere else in the UK, we invite visitors to explore this fascinating period from multiple perspectives.
