Waterloo Remodelled
Major General James Cowan, Trustee of the ground-breaking veteran support charity Waterloo Uncovered, is delighted to invite you to an exclusive exhibition of his previously unseen diorama of the Waterloo Battlefield.
Private View
Wednesday 20th October & Thursday 21st October
19.00 – 21.00
Tickets are £45, with all proceeds kindly donated to Waterloo Uncovered.
A brand new, highly accurate diorama of the Battle of Waterloo has been created by Major General James Cowan, supported by model painters from around the world - and you'll have an opportunity to see it in a private viewing at the National Army Museum, alongside some of the archaeological finds discovered by Waterloo Uncovered on the battlefield. This will be followed by a drinks reception and an evening lecture given by Major General James Cowan himself on the history and construction of the model, on the 20th and 21st of October.
The exhibition will show the completed corners of the battlefield, namely Hougoumont, La Haye Sainte, Papelotte, Plancenoit and La Belle Alliance, as the model (which will be the size of a tennis court when complete) is still a work in progress. We hope you can join us and be the first to see a brand new diorama of the battlefield which combines archaeological data, historical knowledge and the hard work of an international team.
This exhibition is made possible with the support of three iconic institutions - the National Army Museum, the Royal United Services Institute and the Royal Hospital Chelsea.
