The Donald Trump 'baby blimp' has been re-inflated as part of conservation work by the Museum of London. The museum hopes to put it on display at its new home in West Smithfield, which opens in 2026. 📲 Full story:
The Museum of London said it was "a challenge" to preserve the blimp, given that it was made to be "short-lived".
"It was made to be flown over Parliament Square during the then-president Trump's visit to London in 2019, a quick, flexible and visible icon, as opposed to the permanent statues in Parliament Square made from the much more durable materials," a spokesperson from the Museum of London said. "Plastics age and break down in sometimes unexpected ways, so this will help us establish how we can best preserve it in the long-term as part of our collection."which reflected how Londoners use satire, when it acquired it in 2021.
The balloon will be displayed as part of the museum's protest collection, along with objects related to the suffrage movement and banners from protests for more accessible public transport.
