Historic England’s immersive exhibition, ‘Immortalised’, explores the ways in which we commemorate people and events in England and how we may memorialise in the future. Immortalised brings new meaning and context to those who have been remembered and highlights those who have been left out, from women to the working class and people of colour.
Enter four giant monuments that hold the key to our memorial past and future. From a Trafalgar Square lion to the Brighton Peace ‘Angel,’ to the boots on the contested statue of Edward Colson in Bristol, these will each explore how, why and who we remember, from the well-loved and famous, to the lost local hero. Entry to the exhibition is free. Thursday 30 August until Sunday 16 September 2018, Wednesday to Sunday 10am to 5pm.
