Sea of ceramic poppies unveiled at museum ahead of Remembrance Day

A cascading poppy display has been unveiled in Manchester ahead of Remembrance Sunday.

The installation consists of thousands of ceramic poppies cascading down a 30-metre drop, pooling within a section of the Imperial War Museum in Salford Quays.

“Poppies: Wave and Weeping Window” was originally unveiled as part of an exhibition held at the Tower of London in 2014, where volunteers planted a sea of metal flowers.

The exhibition has since travelled to 19 different landmarks across the United Kingdom before becoming part of the museum’s collection in Manchester.
