How to get involved
Updated: 14 December 2011
The Museum is always on the look-out for London-based community groups, organisations and individuals who can help us explore London’s history.
NOTE: Our exhibitions programme is full at the moment and we are not able to consider new proposals for the next 6 months.
We welcome new ideas for collaborative projects that explore and develop understanding of London’s past, present and future.
We are particularly interested in ways to:
- Create a display, event, film, publication or other element that will interest wide-ranging audiences
- Contribute new information, understanding and perspectives on London, its history and its people
- Stimulate dialogue and debate about the past or contemporary issues
- Build skills and confidence for people involved in the project.
The application process
Stage 1
Send us a brief description of your proposal, including information about:
- Yourself and your group or organisation
- The aims and objectives of your proposed project
- Who would be involved
- Whether it is a display, event, publication or other element and what you have in mind
- Plans that you have developed for the project so far
- Whether you have funding or plans to apply for funding and, if so, from whom
Please email or send your proposal to Lynda Agard at:
Museum of London
150 London Wall
London EC2Y 5HN
email: community@museumoflondon.org.uk
Please note: Museum of London does not offer any monetary grants aids or funding awards
Stage 2
The Museum meets regularly to review initial proposals. With each proposal, we offer feedback and suggestions. We will let you know if your proposal has reached the next stage.
Stage 3
We will help you develop a project proposal using our Community Collaboration and Inclusion template. Support from one of the Museum’s staff members will help you develop and submit this.
Stage 4
Our Community Collaboration and Inclusion Committee will discuss your proposal. This meeting will be attended by whichever staff member has worked with you on the proposal. We will then get back to you to tell you the outcome of the meeting.
This process takes at least six weeks and we plan our programme several months in advance, so plenty of notice is helpful.
