Research visits
Due to critical collections work, including the complete reorganisation of the museum’s storage, research access to all collections at London Wall and Mortimer Wheeler House (including the Archaeological Archive) are currently closed.
This essential work is being undertaken as part of our move to West Smithfield, where we are creating a world-class new museum that will showcase more of the London Collection than ever before.
Researchers can still make appointments to visit stored collections at Docklands, as well as to the Sainsbury Archive and Port and River Archive. During this time, the museum will also be making thousands of enhanced digital records available, so researchers will be able to access more of the collection online.
