About Big Picture 2008 - World Record Photo Mosaic

The largest photo mosaic was achieved by The Big Picture at Thinktank, Millennium Point, in Birmingham on 23 August 2008.

Measuring 30 metres by 30 metres, the mosaic image is a photograph of Tipton born Arthur James Bunce taken in 1926 shared by his granddaughter Lucy.

Artist Helen Marshall was commissioned to lead the final phase and making of The Big Picture.

She worked with photo mosaic specialists PollyTiles to realise the enormous image made up of photographs submitted by the public. You can find out more about her work at www.helenmarshall.co.uk and about PollyTiles at www.pollytiles.co.uk.

The physical version of this mosaic, at 857.3m2, broke the World Record for the largest photomosaic and was unvieled at Millennium Point in Birmingham on August 23rd 2008.
