Collections projects
Partnerships and collaboration with London’s diverse communities are at the heart of our work.
Find out how we engage with Londoners to reinterpret our collections, and collect new objects and stories that reflect people’s lived experiences. This work is driven by the commitment to make the partnership mutually beneficial.
