YOUNGSTERS are being given an insight into how children their own age dealt with living through two world wars.
The Oxfordshire Museum’s Children in War exhibition features photographs, artefacts, memoirs and toys that show conflict through the eyes of children.
It includes a doll’s house which was used to train soldiers in house-to-house fighting, Second World War aircraft toys and photographs of evacuees arriving at Chipping Norton train station in 1939.
Curator Julie Summers said: “We believe this ambitious exhibition has a broad appeal.
“Everyone can relate to some aspect of it, whether it’s remembering their experience as an evacuee during the war, building a model aircraft or as a child of today whose dad or mum is away in the army.”
The free exhibition at the museum in Woodstock runs until August. For more information, visit tomocc.org.uk
