The Lifeline

A ground-breaking feature of the Churchill Museum is a unique electronic Lifeline table that allows visitors to journey through Churchill’s extraordinary life. The Lifeline is a computerised ‘filing cabinet’, with a virtual file containing items relating to each year, and in many cases each month and day, of Churchill’s life. Touching the strip at the edge of the Lifeline will bring up contextual data, documents, films, photographs and even sound tracks that relate to his life whilst providing fascinating historical context.
