The working life of Museum of London

Did you know that one of the Museum of London’s visitor assistants was in the UK Big Brother 2007 household?

Jonty Stern popped back into the Museum in Docklands and the Museum of London to give personal guided tours of his favourite things at the museums.

Videos of Jonty’s tours are available online now at www.museumindocklands.org.uk/jonty and www.museumoflondon.org.uk/jonty. Check them out!

They’re also up on Google video – check out Jonty’s Museum of London tour; and Jonty’s Museum in Docklands tour.

This really is the first post, hopefully the first of many.

Welcome to the Museum of London blog.  It doesn’t have a name yet, but we want it to be a view into the museum.  We want to show you some of the stuff you don’t see in the galleries – a glimpse of life inside the labs, storerooms and offices of the museum.

We hope you’ll ask us lots of questions, whatever it is you’ve always wanted to know about what people who work in museums do, what we do with all the stuff we have, and maybe about that mysterious object you’ve had for years.
