STRATEGY & VISION
Visitors to Smithfield will be able to explore our historic and contemporary galleries in the General Market or head to West Poultry Avenue for cutting- edge, real-time multimedia exhibits. Our Research Centre will be established, and work on the temporary exhibition spaces, learning centre, and collections stores in the Poultry Market will be well underway. Meanwhile, as planning for Smithfield swings into delivery, London Museum Docklands will move to centre stage. Commercially successful exhibitions will enhance the offer to visitors and sit alongside new ways of telling the globally important history of the transatlantic slave trade and London's docks. In its Docklands home, London Museum will become a more meaningful and powerful place for all nearby residents. Our strategic objectives for the period 2023–2028 are to: • Build our new future • Reach more people than ever before • Stretch thinking • Engage all young Londoners • Transform ourselves for a better world This plan sets the direction for the most exciting time in our history. To learn more, you can view the full plan here. By 2028 Museum of London will have become London Museum, a shared place in the middle of it all where all our city's stories cross and collide.
ABOUT US
We have embarked on an extraordinary journey to create a new museum for London. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reconceive what a museum for London can be. The London Museum will sit in atmospheric historic market buildings, at the heart of one of the capital’s most historic and creative quarters, Smithfield. They are a perfect home for a new museum of London, and for London: not shiny new buildings or a grand old palace, but very special market structures grounded in the working and trading history of the city. Moving to Smithfield from our site at 150 London Wall means that we will be able to do so much more, for many more people. It will give us street-level entrances in a wonderful neighbourhood, better transport links courtesy of the Elizabeth line, and the opportunity to create innovative new galleries, exhibitions and events.
