ENJOY LONDON!

We hold the national collection of British art from 1500 to the present day and international modern and contemporary art. Our collection includes nearly 70,000 artworks by over 3,000 artists and grows every year.

Everything we do, from the programme we present in our galleries and with partners in Britain and around the world, to the books, products and food we sell in our shops and restau-rants, supports our mission: to promote public understanding and enjoyment of British, modern and contemporary art.

Discover art from the Tate collection and beyond.

The Museum of London consists of the Museum of London and the Museum of London Docklands. They represent the collective work of the Museum of London.

Our mission is to inspire a passion for London, a passion for Learning.

Our vision is to create a revital-ised, world-class museum that embodies the spirit and energy of the world’s greatest city

and its people; a museum that plays an active role in the life of the capital both today and in the future; a museum that is a welcoming, inspirational and innovative destination to all visitors as well as a centre of excellence in research, curator-ship, conservation and learning.

A modern museum with ambi-tious future plans.

The Museum of London is an award winning, charitable institution, funded by a variety of organ-isations and individ-uals including The City of London and GLA.

which can be accessed nation-wide via LGC LIVE - our online service or through our mail order department.

Imagine a shop as a vial in which more or less volatile subs-tances mix to release energy. Ultimately, walking into Magma should be like walking into a thermometer, an instrument indicating ‘where things are at’ at a certain point in time and space. Not because we think so, but as a result of that process, of that retail alchemy: the power of people walking through the door, making suggestions, connecting, rejecting, reacting, interacting, over-reacting. This is the essence of what we do: to try and capture some of that influx and crystallize it into a retail environment.
