Poppies bring 100,000 visitors to Woodhorn Museum

The Weeping Window exhibition is on display at Woodhorn Museum until Sunday, November 1.

Various parts of the Tower of London installation are currently touring sites around the UK until 2018 when they will be put on permanent display at the Imperial War Museum.

Five million people visited the display in London, which was created by artists Paul Cummins and designed by Tom Piper, while it was at the Tower of London between August and November last year.

888,246 poppies were individually placed, each one to represent the death of a member of the British and Colonial forces of the First World War.
