The working life of Museum of London

Rob Campbell, Project Manager at the Museum in Docklands, managed to find a few moments to update us on progress in the final week of installation for the exhibition, Jack the Ripper and the East End which opens on Thursday, May 15 :

As we enter the last week of the exhibition everyone has been filled with manic energy and fear. Malfunctioning DVDs, players, incorrect graphics, broken emails, difficult lenders, oversized stuffed dogs and scratched cases have all taken their toll on the team.

However, we have managed to overcome all of this and in the week that Olympic torch made it to the top of mount Everest we too near the summit! Nearly all of the objects are now installed (including all of the original Ripper letters from the TNA), all the captions are running hot off the presses and our electricians are tweaking lights and fixing emergency signs.

Hope to see you all when it opens and you can see what all this hard work has produced!
