Norfolk schoolchildren and veterans are invited to create permanent artwork inside RAF Neatishead’s Cold War nuclear bunker.
The initiative is part of the Searching for Home exhibition, which is due to open during Remembrance Week.
The exhibition, led by Anya Vero, explores the concept of home in today’s world.
Ms Vero said: “Imagine telling your loved ones that your artwork is permanently displayed in a nuclear bunker.”
Children from local schools will draw on a designated section of the bunker’s walls.
This will be preserved as a permanent installation, connecting Norfolk’s youth with military history.
Veterans and current armed forces members are invited to contribute to a mural opposite the children’s artwork.
Former North Norfolk MP Duncan Baker said: “It’s wonderful to see Norfolk’s young people being invited to engage with such an important part of our nation’s history.”
Three Norfolk schools are already booked to visit the secret bunker, with space remaining for seven more.
The project is free for participating schools, with all materials provided.
Art contributions from former personnel are also encouraged throughout October.
Exhibition dates open to public are November 14 from 10am to 7pm.
Invited to groups on November 12 and those groups and schools on November 13.
