Museum of London receives award for heritage education

In August 2011 the Museum of London was delighted to be awarded a Sandford Award by the Heritage Education Trust.

The Trust's report summary noted that:

‘The Museum of London’s learning programmes are world-class.  A staggering array of activities is offered to pupils of all ages, abilities and interests, and the quality both of these and the supporting resources and facilities is exceptionally high.  Learning is clearly at the heart of the museum’s ethos, and there is a genuine passion for inspiring young people with stories of London’s past, present and future.’

About the Sandford Award

200 historic sites in the UK  and Ireland are currently part of the award scheme. These include historic houses, museums, galleries, cathedrals, places of worship, gardens, landscapes and historic artefacts.
