Armour Box 002/Munitions Box for the German Parliament

The Munitions Box was commissioned for an exhibition in favour of banning landmines and cluster bombs in the German Parliament.
Shells of mines and cluster bombs were fixed to the box with metal hooks so that politicians could get physically close to the weapons without being able to steal them. Although the empty munition shells were fixed in place, the Munitions Box raised security concerns in Parliament. They locked and sealed the box in the run-up to the exhibition. For the opening, however, they asked the Parliament's Vice Chancellor to unlock the box for media coverage and a photo of this process was published on German Parliament's homepage. After the media had left, the box was banned from the exhibition for security reasons. The very people who decide for and against the use of these weapons needed protection from a wooden box containing empty munition shells.  Banning the Box led to a lawsuit. A recipe book on "how to carry mines into parliament without causing trouble" is being prepared.
