Big Picture Show

As the lights fade down, giant screens and powerful surround sound immerse you in the heart of the action, creating a complete sensory experience which is totally involving, and often very moving.

Continually changing images are projected onto the gallery walls, floor and visitors themselves creating a total, ‘immersive’ environment. The images are accompanied by music, sounds and reminiscences from the oral history archives, to create unforgettable shows.

The Big Picture Shows have been conceived as experiences that will inspire debate and discussion. There are six versions of the show. The War at Home, Children and War, and Weapons of War are our longer shows, each of which feature the thoughts, voices and experiences of those involved in or affected by major conflict. We also have three Big Picture Show Shorts, which run for five minutes - Al-Mutannabbi Street: A Reaction, and Service and Separation: A Volunteer Nurse in Afghanistan, and Remembrance.

The Big Picture Show is fully subtitled.
