Museum of London is funded jointly by the City of London
Corporation and the Greater London Authority.
The Museum tells the story of London and Londoners from
prehistoric times to the present day. The modern London galleries
are currently closed for redevelopment and will open in spring
2010. Visitors can still enjoy London's past from
its prehistory to the Great Fire of London, alongside topical
foyer displays and a lively programme of events for all ages. For
full details of what’s on, details of opening times and how to get
there visit the Museum of London website.
Museum of London also includes Museum of London Docklands and
Museum of London Archaeology; together these three destinations
seek to inspire a passion for London. Housed in a grade I listed
Georgian warehouse at West India Quay, Museum of London Docklands
explores the 2,000-year history of the river, port and its people.
Museum of London Archaeology conducts excavations which continually
remap our understanding of the city. Based in Hackney, it provides
independent professional advice and services to property sector and
heritage clients and is the home of the Museum’s extensive
archaeological archive, with finds from all over London.
