Proposed design unveiled24 January 2012

The proposed design for Nelson's Ship in a Bottle, National Maritime Museum We're very pleased to reveal an image of the proposed design for the display of Nelson's Ship in a Bottle by Yinka Shonibare, MBE outside the National Maritime Museum's new Sammy Ofer Wing entrance. As you can see it will create an exciting and striking external feature accessible for all to see.

Last chance to see

This is the final week see this important work of art on Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth before it ends its tenure at the site. Thanks to your support we’ve raised over £80,000 towards the £362,500 needed to keep Shonibare’s sculpture on public display for everyone to enjoy. However, we still have a long way to go.

Don't let this unique sculpture be sold abroad and lost to the British public forever, donate what you can to the campaign now.
