The Museum of London Docklands saw 95,469 visitors; not as many as the record numbers who came to see last year’s Jack the Ripper exhibition, but still a strong result.

Visitor numbers have in fact been strong across the board: we welcomed 275,434 people to the Museum of London, which is a 3% increase on the previous year. Page 5 /40 Part 1 Welcome Director’s Introduction Professor Jack Lohman Director Looking back on the year under review, the words that best sum it up are ‘total transformation’. Our flagship project – the Galleries of Modern London – has transformed the Museum of London. It has absorbed about half of our staff for the past four years, and 2009/10 was the year we all threw ourselves into the last leg of that journey. The Galleries of Modern London, which open to the public in May 2010, have physically transformed the Museum with their exciting new spaces and all the objects in them, and they have delivered 1 April 2009 a new narrative for modern London. Living Ancestors display opens at the Museum The process of creating our new Museum of London Docklands has transformed us as an organisation too. It has instigated a cultural change, breaking down barriers between departments. People from all parts of the Museum have come together, working strategically to make this once-in-a-lifetime project a success. That cultural change has improved our performance, and the evidence speaks for itself: 2009/10 saw the first groups of staff complete Certificates and Diplomas in Management, and the completion of a second Investors in People diagnostic highlighted our progress as an institution.

  • PRESS RELEASE the Goldsmiths' Company Becomes a Founding
    PRESS RELEASE The Goldsmiths’ Company becomes a Founding Partner of the new Museum of London and pledges £10m donation Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Cup, designed by Goldsmith R.Y. Goodden in 1953 is pictured in the Corporation of London’s current salt store, which by 2022 will have been transformed into galleries at the new Museum of London in West Smithfield with the Thameslink track running through them. Image © Museum of London. Collection: The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. The Museum of London and the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths (one of the major City Livery Companies) today announced that the Goldsmiths' Company is to become a Founding Partner of the new Museum of London, due to open in West Smithfield in 2022. The Goldsmiths' Company and its affiliated Charity have pledged £10 million to the Museum project. This landmark donation goes towards the Museum’s plans to create a spectacular new home for the history of London and its people in the beautiful but disused market buildings at West Smithfield. This follows the news earlier this year that the City of London Corporation and Mayor of London have together pledged £180 million. Counting the donation from the Goldsmiths’ Company and its affiliated Charity, the Museum has £60 million left to raise. A gallery bearing the Goldsmiths’ name will be at the heart of the new Museum, showcasing the Cheapside Hoard together with highlights from the Company’s world-renowned Collection of historic and contemporary silver. Judith Cobham-Lowe, Prime Warden of the Goldsmiths' Company, said: "We are thrilled to be playing our part in the new Museum of London as a Founding Partner.
