Flowers of war

Shrine CEO Dean Lee is joined by Professor Paul Gough for the launch of our newest special exhibition, Flowers of war. 

The appearance of cornflowers and poppies on the battlefields at the end of the First World War symbolised for many the fragility of life and the hope of rebirth. This collaborative work of art comprises enamelled floral emblems of remembrance, inspired by those found on the battlefield and at home.

The exhibition will be on display in the Shrine Galleries for the next twelve months from 10am to 5pm, last entry at 4.30pm.

 

Meet the artists:

Jean McAuslan will host a special talk with the artists Kirsten Haydon and Neal Haslem at midday on Thursday 1 November. Bookings are essential.
