Museum of London wins ‘Best Celebration of Cultural Diversity’ award
January 30, 2008 Galleries, Specialist projects
The Museum of London received the Bronze Award at the 2007 Visit London Awards in the category for its exhibition Belonging: voices of London’s refugees.
Belonging (October 2006 – February 2007) was a collaborative production that formed part of the Refugee Communities History Project, led by the Evelyn Oldfield Unit in partnership with Museum of London, London Metropolitan University and eighteen refugee community organisations.
It also featured work created as part of the London Museums Hub Refugee Heritage Programme. For more information about Belonging, visit www.museumoflondon.org.uk/belonging.
The Gold Award went to the London International Festival of Theatre for Eat London, a major event in Trafalgar Square in which community groups created a model of central London in food. The Silver Award went to the Southbank Centre for The Overture, the grand reopening of the Royal Festival Hall.
