Medals of Dishonour

Medals of Dishonour opened yesterday in Room 90 and continues until 27 September, admission free. This is the first exhibition of its kind, exploring 400 years of medals which denounce their targets. "Subjects range from the sombre and the bizarre to the scatological and the humorous...." Sounds like fun. Click the title link for more information.
