Can I buy a poppy from the Tower of London's 2025 display?
Are the poppies from the Tower of London’s 2025 ‘The Tower Remembers’ exhibition for sale?
The Tower of London’s epic poppy display has officially closed.
The stunning spectacle opened to the public in May this year to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day.
The exhibition titled ‘The Tower Remembers’ closed to the public yesterday on Armistice Day 2025. The project concluded with a minute’s silence to commemorate Britain’s fallen soldiers and those who contributed to the war effort.
Can I buy a poppy from the Tower of London?
A whopping 30,000 ceramic poppies were displayed at the Tower of London, as part of the exhibition. Many people have inquired whether the poppies are now for sale, now that the exhibition has closed.
Sadly, no; the poppies were actually on loan from the Imperial War Museum, where they will now return.
The new display differs from the 2014 ‘Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red’ installation at the Tower of London, where all 888,246 ceramic poppies were sold to raise funds for military charities.
Following the installation and its national tour, most of the poppies were preserved for the nation and are now part of the Imperial War Museums’ collection.
While individual poppies from the 2014 display were sold at the time, larger sculptural pieces from the original artwork were not made available for purchase.
Any poppies currently listed on resale sites such as eBay come from the secondary market and are not part of any official sale linked to the new exhibition.
