Hello Everyone
I will not go on too much about Albus but just to say he’s settling in and making himself at home. I do show him off at Zoom activities, so if you want to see him, join an activity there are plenty to choose from.

Upcoming Events This Week & Next
Museum of London: creative sessions for carers
Mon 23rd Nov 11am – 12pm
Join Amy and Marina from the Museum of London for the 2nd in our series of chatty sessions.
We’ll be delving into London’s past with opportunities to share your own memories. Sessions will give you a taster of what our museums have on offer, including reminiscence, art, music, and storytelling. Plus, we’ll be presenting you with simple stay-at-home ways to engage with our collections, together with those you care for.
These sessions are part of the museum’s Memories of London programme which aims to engage people living with dementia and their carers and so sessions will be tailored for them. However, these sessions are open to all, and you are welcome to join on your own or with the person you care for.
To register, please email Marina and Amy at memories@museumoflondon.org.uk with your name and the subject line ‘Creative session for carers’. A Zoom link will be sent at the end of this week.
We hope to see you there!
Are you fascinated by the history of London’s docklands? Fancy getting involved with the creation of a new exhibition?
The Museum of London are looking to recruit volunteer researchers with personal connections to London’s docks and the Port of London to support us with the creation of a new exhibition opening in 2021.
The exhibition will be hosted at the Museum of London Docklands and will explore the history of the Port of London through recorded interviews which we’ve been collecting since the 80s. These include memories from people who lived and worked locally.
Volunteers will listen to these oral history recordings and add their own interpretations – drawing on their experiences to help the museum to decide how they are displayed. It will be chance to help shape an exciting public exhibition, and you don’t need to have any previous experience working with oral histories or research to take part.
If you think this might be for you or want to find out more, please email Hannah Davis on hdavis@museumoflondon.org.uk
