😠 MOD is presented as a place that is educational for children and I initially was really enjoying my time here with my wife and two young children. I'm all for educating them in the field of science and I encourage them to form opinions and wonder about the scientific world. What I wasn't ready for h...

👍 Quite a large military collection with an emphasis on SA. Well displayed and arranged along the lines of different campaigns over 150 years.
