Women of the RNLI

National Maritime Museum

Women of the RNLI is a free exhibition on display at the National Maritime Museum in London. The exhibition proudly celebrates the pivotal role that women have played in saving lives at sea, throughout the RNLI’s history, since it was founded in 1824.

As well as celebrating the lives and experiences of past and present volunteers, the exhibition also seeks to inspire the next generation of lifesavers and supporters, by using oral histories from crew members and the stunning portrait photography of Jack Lowe. The images are part of the bigger https://lifeboatstationproject.com/ which seeks to photograph crew and boats of every RNLI station in the UK and Ireland.

Beam were delighted to be appointed by the museum to display the works as part of the RNLI’s 200th anniversary saving lives at sea. We used a combination of fittings from within the museums stock as well as making use of new https://stoanelighting.com/ fittings purchased for long term use.
