Upcoming Exhibition

Lights, Camera, London - NOW OPEN

London has been a source of fascination for at least three hundred years, and for over a hundred of these its moving image has attracted audiences around the world. Indeed London was one of the cities where moving pictures began, in the 1890s, and Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee provided the new entertainment medium with its earliest global box-office success in 1897.

This exhibition is the first since the Museum of London’s pioneering London on Film (1996) to show how London has been the setting - and often the star - of films for over a century. Using extracts and stills, together with rare costumes and props, Lights, Camera, London! reveals the range of what Samuel Johnson called ‘the wonderful immensity of London’.

  Current Exhibition
Capturing the Shadows

THE FILM INDUSTRY sprang into life in the 1890s, and after 120 years celluloid is fading out as a production and exhibition medium, as chemical photography gives way to digital imaging.

 

At this major turning point, our new display CAPTURING THE SHADOWS provides a peep at the old established media – shadow theatre and the optical lantern, photography, and kinetic animation – that each provided an element towards the invention of cinematography.
