What we offer schools
There are big changes ahead while we create a new museum for London. Read on to find out more!
Museum of London closure
The Museum of London’s main site at London Wall is now closed after 45 brilliant years.
We’re now continuing our journey to create a new museum for London. The new museum, coming in 2026, will be situated at the heart of the capital’s historic West Smithfield. The Museum of London Docklands remains open for visits as usual.
