Abstract

In 2006, the Tower of London erected a new memorial to commemorate the victims of the Tower. Previously marketed as a fun-packed revel in the macabre, the memorial sculpture has altered the mood of remembrance at the Tower. The article uses the example of the memorial as an opportunity to explore the ethics and aesthetics that surround contemporary memorializing of violent and distant pasts in relation to tourism.
