Nelson Ship in A Bottle by Yinka Shonibare at National Maritime Museum. |
Finally, the reconstruction of 18th century war-time
vessel, Nelson’s Ship in A Bottle by Yinka
Shonibare {MBE} has found a permanent home outside the National Maritime Museum.
Originally produced in 2010 – supported by Guaranty Trust Bank {GTB} - it had generated huge attention as a Fourth Plinth sculpture, mounted at Trafalgar's Square. Parts of the components include the artist’s traditional Dutch Wax fabric identity.

The facilitator of the permanent place for Nelson’s
Ship In A Bottle, the Royal Museums Greenwich, says on its website: “We are
delighted to announce that thanks to the generosity of many individuals, the
fundraising appeal to buy Yinka Shonibare, MBE’s sculpture Nelson’s Ship in a
Bottle for the National Maritime Museum and ensure it remains on permanent
display has been a success. The work, which is a scaled down replica of HMS Victory,
now has a permanent new home outside the recently opened Sammy Ofer Wing”.
Meanwhile, the museum shows some other works of Shonibare this autumn.
