The Stories Flags Tell | Museums Without Borders | MAP X Imperial War Museum

Flags have always been more than decorative symbols – they’ve played a crucial role throughout history in communication and identity. From Roman battle standards to maritime flags, they’ve unified communities, represented cultures, and carried powerful messages. In the latest episode of Museums Without Borders, we team up with the Imperial War Museum in London to explore the fascinating depictions of flags in two artworks – a postcard and a textile label. Join us as we uncover how these flags reflect identity, unity, and the values they stand for.
