EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating piece of history during World War I. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, it showcases how Museums and Art Galleries in London were repurposed to house government departments during the war. The image portrays a significant moment when these cultural institutions transformed into temporary offices for various ministries and departments. The buildings depicted include the Tate Gallery, Millbank, War Office, Imperial Institute, National Portrait Gallery, Victoria and Albert Museum, British Museum, Hertford House (Wallace Collection), London Museum, and more. These iconic landmarks became essential spaces where crucial administrative tasks related to pensions, education boards, friendly societies' registry, munitions ministry took place. The photograph offers a glimpse into the wartime efforts made by Britain as they utilized every available space to support their country's needs. It highlights both the adaptability of these grand architectural structures and their contribution to national defense during this tumultuous period. This historical snapshot not only provides insight into London's role during World War I but also serves as a reminder of how art and culture can be intertwined with governmental affairs in times of crisis. Preserved within a private collection today but originally featured in Our Times Illustrated on May 17th, 1919; this image is an invaluable testament to the resilience and resourcefulness exhibited by museums turned government hubs over a century ago.
