| | Hands on archaeology at Museum of London
To create more space for future archives, the museum is revisiting its archaeology dug in the 1970's and improving the storage and access of these collections by repacking the objects more effectively and efficiently.
Join staff & volunteers from the museum's archaeological archive and Visitor Inclusion Programme (LAARC VIP) and help contribute to the upkeep of our archaeological collections.
Take part in hands-on workshops to help us improve our archaeological collection and join in interactive object handling sessions in our new Archaeology in Action gallery space.
In the hands-on workshop sessions you will have the opportunity to handle real pieces of pottery that were excavated during the 1970's, learn how the museum stores its archaeological collections and help improve the way these important artefacts are stored. These sessions are free, ticketed and led by Archaeological Collections Officers, Adam Corsini and Glynn Davis, who run the Volunteer Inclusion Programme at the London Archaeological Archive & Research Centre (LAARC VIP).
On all of these days there will be drop-in interactive handling sessions taking place in the Museum's new Archaeology in Action space from 10am - 4pm.

| | Badge of support at Museum of London
Many Londoners wore a badge to show their support for the ending of the slave trade in the early 1800s. We still use badges today to show our support, maybe for a political party or animal charity. Learn more about the Wedgewood cameo and design a new badge to say something about a subject you feel strongly about.
