A world-first for the Imperial War Museum, this interactive exhibition toured globally in 2015, presenting 350 of the most significant artefacts from the IWM’s collections. Casson Mann’s challenge was to condense the story of the First World War, as told in the IWM’s award-winning galleries, into a nimble, yet engaging touring event. The exhibition took shape around a central, twisting, trench-like space, with high, steep walls and dug-out style doors giving in to different thematic areas. Visitors discovered objects embedded in showcases along the route, with huge projections of the battlefield appearing above.
