London Museum Docklands – Secrets of the Thames

Advance Booking Required

Unearth fascinating objects and stories from London’s past in the UK’s first major exhibition dedicated to mudlarking.

Twice a day, the River Thames pulls back its tide to reveal a landscape scattered with objects from London’s past. From intimate personal items to centuries-old relics, each object tells a story.

Witness over 350 treasures, many on display for the first time. Get into the shoes of mudlarks and explore how they find, identify, and care for their discoveries.
Feel the pull of the tide as you marvel at an immersive moon installation by artist Luke Jerram.
