The working life of Museum of London

Well I am back in the office after just over a week and have finally managed to go through all the emails and urgent updates on the websites and staff Intranet, I thought I’d take a few minutes to wish you all a very Happy New Year from everyone at Museum of London and tell you that some wonderful new things are happening this year, so watch out for them.

If you don’t yet know, we will be opening our new Galleries of Modern London at Museum of London in May and as of the 1st of January, we are revealing daily, the 1919 Diary of Oscar Kirk, a young messenger boy employed by the Port of London Authority. You can follow daily tweets from Oscar at http://twitter.com/oscarkirk1919.

Also coming soon is a new gallery, “War, Plague & Fire“, telling the story of London from the Elizabethan times, through the ravages of the English Civil Wars to the Great Fire of 1666 at Museum of London, and a display of post abolition commemorative stamps from around the world at Museum of London Docklands.

All that and so much more to look forward to this year, so stay tuned to find out more!
