Whilst most of the poppies were sold these two pieces of artwork went on tour for four years. https://www.1418now.org.uk/commissions/poppies/about/ It is my understanding after the tour they will be housed permanently in a museum. I can't find the link to where I read that (it was four years ago ;-)) I saw the poppies at the tower, once as they were being planted and later when it was completer bar a few last poppies. I also saw 'Poppies Wave' at Lincoln Castle. Ahh! these are the two installations from the moat. Whilst most of the poppies were sold these two pieces of artwork went on tour for four years.

Somewhere different but similar poppies. ;) It's from the Imperial War Museum (IWM) itself, titled "Weeping Window". Here's the link: www.1418now.org.uk/commissions/poppies-weeping-window-iwm-london/ I am going to see it this weekend :) It's closing soon. Have you been to Manchester's IWM? If you can go there before 25 Nov, you might still be able to see it for free! :) There's a similar poppy installation there too, called "Wave". www.iwm.org.uk/events/poppies-wave No, not from the Tower.
