Iconic poppies sculpture on display in Northumberland from September 12th

Northumberland's Woodhorn Museum will host the iconic poppies sculpture "Weeping Window" from Saturday September 12th as part of a UK-wide tour.

It is the first venue outside London to present the installation by artist Paul Cummins and designer Tom Piper, from the extraordinary installation "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red".

888,246 poppies were displayed at the Tower of London, one to honour each death in the British and Colonial forces of the First World War.

Weeping Window is the cascade comprising several thousand handmade ceramic poppies seen pouring out of a high window down to the grass below.

Wave, being shown at Yorkshire Sculpture Park from September, is the curling swathe of poppies which rose up to create an arch over the entrance to the Tower.
