To mark the 350th anniversary of the English Civil War with a travelling exhibition, the Royal Armouries created the first travelling exhibition from a National Museum in ten years. A flexible exhibition layout capable of being installed easily in five completely different museums up and down the country, demountable cases (including internal case layouts), lighting, exhibition graphics (and modular system), a four-colour souvenir guide, four-colour poster, promotional leaflet and various souvenirs. On the very tight budget it would never have been possible to produce lifesized figures for displaying the objects, so lifesized two dimensional enlargements from contemporary sourced material were used to display a whole rank of pikemen. Here you can see some of the publication which followed the same storyline as the exhibition breaking down into the same six sections. It could actually be used as a guide book, although intended more as a souvenir. The branded merchandise included T-shirts, mugs, pencils, rubbers and bookmarks. The Poster (matching the publication cover and leaflet) was overprinted at the five exhibition venues.
