Woodhorn museum will host the very first installation of the iconic Weeping Window poppies sculpture outside of London as part of a UK-wide tour organised by 14-18 NOW.
Weeping Window, and Wave which is also on tour, are both from the installation Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red – poppies and original concept created by artist Paul Cummins and installation designed by Tom Piper – by Paul Cummins Ceramics Limited in conjunction with Historic Royal Palaces. The installation was originally at HM Tower of London from August to November 2014 where 888,246 poppies were displayed, one to honour every death in the British and Colonial forces of the First World War.
Lodge Temperance has so far identified four members who gave their life in the First World War. You can see our Roll of Honour here
The breathtaking cascade of several thousand handmade ceramic poppies will be on display at Woodhorn from Saturday 12th September until Sunday 1st November 2015. Further details can be found here
