Summer school courses


Curating the City: 1900 to now, King's College London

The museum works with King's College London to deliver short undergraduate university-level Summer School modules which are open to students from around the world.

Curating the City is part of the King’s College London Undergraduate Summer School and looks at the social, economic, and political history of London in the twentieth century by closely examining the various collections held at and the varied types of work carried out in The Museum of London.

What can these collections—ranging from art to architecture, fashion to film, music to media—reveal about London over the last century? What sorts of stories or histories do these collections tell? What sorts of stories or histories do they leave untold? Furthermore, who or what is responsible for choosing these collections, for telling these stories to the general public? What is the impact of such historical decisions on London’s present-day reputation as a centre of creativity and cultural exchange?
