Charlotte Wilson Reimagines an Old Bunker for a Women of War Museum
Michael Hines — August 1, 2010 — Art & Design
I would definitely visit more museums if they looked as cool as Charlotte Wilson's 'Women. War. Peace.' This museum concept would turn an old RAF bunker in Bempton, England into a 'women of war' museum.
Ordinarily I wouldn't be the first one in line for a women at war museum, but Charlotte Wilson's concept is incredibly intriguing. Turning an old symbol of war into a museum is nothing new, but then again, it has never been done quite like this before.
