Due to major renovation works, the Museum is unable to provide study access to original artwork until 2010. Visitors can continue to access and license over 6,000 images from the Museum’s Collections Online service (link to www.iwmcollections.org.uk). An ongoing digitisation programme will ensure that increasing numbers of work are made available online. For digital images, image licensing for publication, and black and white photographic prints, please contact artimages@iwm.org.uk or telephone 020 7416 5215. Art researchers can continue to access the Library, where a range of relevant art books and the War Artists Archive will be available via appointment from Tuesday to Thursday, 10.00am – 5.00pm. To arrange an appointment, please contact the Collections Enquiry Service on +44 (0)20 7416 5342.
 
During this period, there will be a continuing art display programme at both Imperial War Museum London and Imperial War Museum North featuring selections of artworks from the permanent collection.
