Narberth Museum will be commemorating the 200th anniversary of Napoleon's defeat with a spectacular re-creation of the Battle of Waterloo in Miniature next week.
The miniature ‘Battle’ (produced by the team responsible for recreating the 'Battle of Fishguard in Miniature' for the Fishguard & Goodwick Festival) will feature a large model of the battlefield, populated by thousands of hand-painted pewter figures, each standing only 18mm tall. However, this is not just a static museum model.
The key stages of the battle will be war-gamed by a team of ‘armchair-generals’ in an attempt to either re-create or change history (depending on their loyalties).
Will Napoleon’s French Army be able to change history, smashing Wellington’s line and marching on Brussels? Or will Wellington’s Allied army repeat history, holding the line long enough for Blücher’s Prussians to attack Napoleon’s flank?
To find out, come and see The Battle of Waterloo in Miniature at Narberth Museum on Thursday, June 18, during normal museum opening hours; 10am to 5pm.
