Visitors of the new art installation “The Word Defiant!”, which is being held in Blickling Hall in Norfolk City, viewed stories of books that have been banned, burned, redacted, drowned, neglected and superseded. /VCG Photo

The display aims at recreating the library in Iraq destroyed by ISIL militants. After it was liberated, students retrieved about 2,000 volumes from the ruins. There are also 14 copies of a 2010 book written by Anthony Shaffer as a record of the memoirs of his five-month tour in Afghanistan. Shaffer is a retired US Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel who is famous for claiming about mishandled intelligence before the September 11 attacks in 2001. /VCG Photo

The exhibition lasts from May 1 to October 28 at Blickling, which has one of the most important libraries in the country. /VCG Photo
