Museum of London - two new major exhibitions at the Museum of London this year

Roman Dead Fri 25 May – Sun 28 Oct 2018 From May, arrange group visits to Roman Dead, the latest major exhibition at the Museum of London Docklands. Roman Dead explores how ancient Londoners approached death by exploring ancient burial rites and rituals, as well as looking at “grave goods”, the items that families of the deceased left in coffins to help their loved ones in the afterlife. Examine over 200 artefacts excavated from ancient burials sites, including the Southwark sarcophagus, which will be on public display for the first time. Reflect on what these extraordinary items reveal about who Roman Londoners were and the questions they raise about the city’s diverse past. Self-guided visits can be enhanced with a free audio tour, accessed exclusively via museum WiFi. Alternatively, groups of 10 or more can book an exclusive curator tour to discover more about the items on display and how the exhibition was created. BOOK NOW >
