Imperial War Museum London will partially reopen its doors to the public on 29 July following its closure since 1 January.

New family exhibition Horrible Histories: Spies, which focuses on WWII spy-craft, will be part of the museum's reopening, as will IWM Contemporary - which will display artworks that respond to war and conflict.

Building work will continue behind the scenes to reconfigure the atrium, large object displays and new First World War galleries in time for summer 2014 to mark the centenary of the war.
