About the event
CBA London has arranged a very special tour of this fascinating exhibition with its Curator, Kate Sumnall, at London Museum Docklands.
The exhibition features over 350 mudlarked objects, from intimate personal items to historical relics, with many on display for the first time. Kate will be revealing the stories behind the remarkable objects from every era of London's past, and what they reveal about both the people and cultures behind them, and the mudlarks who've found them.
