From Swords to Plowshares offers a glimpse into the dazzling array of objects known as “trench art.” The term “trench art” applies to any item made by soldiers, prisoners of war, or civilians from war materials. Makers of trench art re-shaped artillery shells, bullets, shrapnel, aircraft parts, currency and other metal scrap into powerful artistic works. Often a treasure hidden in attics and basements, trench art tells a story of bravery, grief, patriotism and even comic relief in times of death and destruction.
