Aprašymas: The King is with Queen Mary. They meet with Sir Alfred Mond, First Commissioner of Works, Sir Martin Conway and Major ffoulkes of the Imperial War Museum in the foyer of the Museum galleries. The guests and staff assemble for a formal ceremony of dedication. Then the King and Queen are taken on a tour of the exhibits. Also present in the party are Winston Churchill as Secretary of State for War (seen very briefly), Surgeon-Commander Parkes of the Museum, and the Duke of Connaught (?). Much of the attention of the film is taken up with the full-sized replica of an 18-inch naval gun - the shells are genuine - which dominates the main exhibition hall.
George V opening the Imperial War Museum at Crystal Palace, London, 9th June 1920.
