London Museum

Pottery, knives, bones and phallic good luck charms are amongst the huge treasure trove of Roman artefacts joining our museum collection, thanks to a generous donation by Bloomberg Philanthropies, which marks the single largest archive of archaeological material the museum has ever received. This world-renowned collection of artefacts uncovered during construction of Bloomberg's European headquarters in the City of London is accompanied by a transformative gift of £20 million to support the creation of our new museum in Smithfield, opening in 2026. We’re grateful to Bloomberg Philanthropies for their extraordinary support in preserving this collection for future generations, and for championing the development of a place that we hope Londoners will be truly proud of. Read more about how these donations will contribute to “one of the most ambitious cultural projects globally”, and how finds from one of London’s most significant excavations will be made available for display and research, here: https://bbc.in/4iyPqvT Sharon Ament Mike Bloomberg Patti Harris

Super excited to see our website has been shortlisted for an Museums + Heritage Award in the Best Use of Digital category - and in such great company too! Big thanks to the very talented team and all of our agency partners who worked so hard to realise our vision. #MandHAwards
