Free Entry at Museum in Docklands

From Thursday 27 December until Monday 31 December 2007 entry to Museum in Docklands will be FREE. Why not take advantage of this offer and see the new London, Sugar & Slavery gallery or let the kids work off some steam in the interactive Mudlarks gallery. London, Sugar & Slavery challenges long-held beliefs that abolition was initiated by politicians and brings you the real objects, personal stories, and vibrant art and music that have left their legacy on the capital today. I visited recently and found the new gallery fascinating. You can learn more about slavery from Alistair Boddy-Evans, the About.com Guide to African History.

About Museum in Docklands
The Museum in Docklands tells the story of London's river, port and people, from Roman settlement of the port, through to the recent regeneration of London's former Docklands. Even though the Museum in Docklands is housed in an old warehouse the building is fully accessible as it only opened in 2004. It's a great place to take kids as they get free admission as do students with ID. Take the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) to the Museum in Docklands as there are fantastic views from this overground train system which is included in your London Transport Oyster travelcard.
