Visitors are drawn from the Bristol & Empire on the Eve the War
section into the Duty Calls section by dramatic clusters of original
propaganda posters.
In Remembering the Dead, an immersive digital interactive invites visitors to type in their surname,
this then triggers a large projection ahead of them that artistically shows how many soldiers with
that surname died, and how many of them were from Bristol.
At the beginning of the exhibition, visitors are able to
select a wrist band associated with the character they
chose to follow.
Visitors can contrast the innocence of the the characters
visiting the Bristol International Festival on the eve of war
with their lives as they change beyond recogintion as the
war unfolds.

‘We discussed at the outset how the 18th Century Infirmary building
we are housed within is the star artefact, and Simon’s designs reflect
this fully and with a great deal of empathy: the display is full of
quirky and clever details; subtle touches that add up to a beautiful
and visually appealing whole to interpret the former Infirmary ward
space. ’

Infirmary Museum Curator & Project Manager, Sept 2012
