Weather Permitting: London's changing climate
Gripped by globally-warmed hysteria? Concerned about carbon footprints? Then come and chill out with the Museum's historical perspective on climate change in this foyer display. Find out about the capital's weather - the storms, floods, freezes, heatwaves, fogs and smogs - and how Londoners have coped with the best (and worst) that the elements have thrown at them since earliest times.
Main foyer: Until Sunday 15 June 2008
Upcoming exhibitions in the foyer:
The Big Smoke
1 July - 21 September
Using objects and images from the Museum of London's collections this new display will chart the history of smoking from the first introduction of tobacco to London to changes in attitude over the centuries. One year on, the display will also showcase different opinions on the smoking ban and show its effects on London businesses and Londoners.
Shutting up Shop
2 October - 23 November
A photographic display documenting a diverse range of old-style shops in London, taken during the 1970s and 1980s, and more recent photographs showing what happened to the shop sites after they closed. The high-quality, large scale photographs will be accompanied by recordings of interviews with the former shop owners and proprietors.
