Re:loaded
Guns are powerful weapons. They can be loaded with meaning, as well as bullets.
Throughout history to the present day, guns have been embellished and intricately decorated; plated in gold and covered with diamonds.
As objects of art, they have been used to campaign for peace, as tokens of love and desire, and as diplomatic gifts between nations.
This thought-provoking pop-up exhibition asks us to reconsider the symbolism of guns.
Visitors will be able see iconic objects from the Royal Armouries’ collection as well as modern art pieces from renowned artist and peace campaigner Bran Symondson-Baxter.
This exhibition will pose a difficult question for audiences; why attempt to beautify such potentially deadly weapons?
Open until June 2024, free entry.
Closed on Mondays.
