The idea of Britain opening an Imperial War Museum dates from 1917. An exhibition to mark the centenary takes the IWM in London a long way from tanks and battleships. 
People Power: Fighting for Peace looks at how the British have protested against war. It covers everything from posters and poetry to street-demonstrations. But the show also asks if the era of mass protest is coming to a close.
