Weavers’ Company donate £100,000 to the Museum of London’s move to Smithfield
21 January 2021
The Museum of London and the Worshipful Company of Weavers today announce a £100,000 donation towards the creation of the new Museum of London, one of the largest and most significant cultural projects happening anywhere in Europe.
This generous gift, one of the largest ever awarded by the Company, will support the Museum’s plans to create a spectacular new home for the history of London and its people, in the beautiful but largely disused market buildings at West Smithfield.
