LONDON.- The Art Fund and the National Maritime Museum launched a public appeal to give Yinka Shonibare, MBE’s critically‐acclaimed and much‐loved commission for the Fourth Plinth Nelson’s Ship in a Bottle a permanent home at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. The work was commissioned by the Mayor of London for the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square where it has been on temporary display since May 2010 and is due to come down from view in January next year. In its new home at the National Maritime Museum Nelson’s Ship in a Bottle will not only be a prominent public feature, freely accessible to all, outside the new Sammy Ofer Wing entrance but will complement the museum’s collection, which includes important paintings and artifacts relating to Nelson and Britain’s maritime history. The Art Fund has contributed a £50,000 grant to the campaign.
