The working life of Museum of London

We might be half way through our Archaeological Archive’s 10th Anniversary Celebrations, it might be Half Term, however, this is not to say we’re doing things in half measures. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.

Lots and lots and lots and lots of you visited us today and we had a blast at our Archaeology Exposed tables, where visitors got to handle 2000 year old pottery, try on a hard-hat and find out how our conservators use x-rays.

It was great to see people really getting into it, finding out new things about the past and discovering how our volunteers at the archive go about preserving the objects.

Loads of them had a go themselves, during our Hands-On Archaeology workshop, where they found out a bit about London’s Archaeology before handling and helping the museum pack, store and organise its pots.

And the good news is if you missed out today, we’re back tomorrow (Tuesday) and Friday for more of the same, alongside all the other brilliant activities going on this week.
