MUSEUM OF LONDON

LONDON, England, EC2Y 5HN United Kingdom

Mission Statement

We are here to enrich the understanding and appreciation of London and all its people – past, present, future. A home for learning, exploration and adventure, we aspire to be a force for good in London, as London must be for the world.

About This Cause

The Museum of London was founded in 1965 and tells the ever-changing story of the capital from its first settlers to modern times. At present, we operate the Museum of London Docklands and our Stores, alongside embarking on an extraordinary journey to build a new museum for London. We are home to the largest archaeological archive and urban history collection in the world, comprising over 7 million items, and run award-winning learning, engagement, and event programmes across London. Our digital offer reaches audiences globally, as London’s influence as a global city has done across the centuries. Through the extraordinary London Collection, our state-of-the-art galleries, thought-provoking exhibitions, displays, and events we aim to inspire a passion for London in visitors from all ages and backgrounds, and provide a sense of the vibrancy that makes the city such a unique place. Now is a truly unique moment in the Museum’s history, as we prepare to open the doors of a brand-new museum housed within spectacular historic market buildings in Smithfield, to be known as the London Museum.
