Poppies - don't miss your chance to see this unique installation. Open from 06 May, to coincide with the 80th anniversary of VE Day on 08 May, you can visit the installation throughout the summer including VJ Day on 15 August, until 11 November, culminating in a moment of remembrance for Armistice Day.

 

Discover its 900 - year history as a royal palace and fortress, prison and place of execution, mint, arsenal, menagerie and jewel house. Founded nearly a millennium ago and expanded upon over the centuries since, the Tower of London has protected, housed, imprisoned and been for many the last sight they saw on Earth. It has been the seat of British government and the living quarters of monarchs ... the site of renown political intrigue, and the repository of the Crown Jewels ... It has housed lions, bears, and (to this day) flightless ravens ... not to mention notorious traitors and framed members of court, lords and ministers, clergymen and knights.

 

The new special commemorative display of ceramic poppies will be installed at the heart of the Tower of London to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. The display will see nearly 30,000 of the original poppies, made for the 2014 installation, ‘Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red’, return to the Tower, marking the sacrifices made by so many during the Second World War. Open for 6th May to 11th November.

The specially commissioned installation will resemble a ‘wound’ at the heart of the Tower, which was itself bombed during the Blitz. Poppies will pour across the lawn overlooked by the ancient White Tower, where the blood-red flowers will form a crater, with ripples flowing outwards. 

On display within the Tower’s walls, the installation will create striking images, reminding us of loss through war, and of the long-lasting impact of conflict. It will create a shared space for visitors to remember and reflect on the collective sacrifice of so many in this important anniversary year.

The poppies are on loan from Imperial War Museums and were designed and made by the artist, Paul Cummins. The new display has been created by the designer, Tom Piper.
