Research

At London Museum, we not only preserve history but also work hard to actively uncover it, ensuring that history stays relevant and meaningful for Londoners today. Research sits at the heart of this work.

It shapes how we understand the objects and stories in our care, underpins the development of new exhibitions and public programmes, and informs best practice in engagement.

But we don’t do this alone. Partnership is central to our approach. Our research projects extend well beyond the museum walls, and we work closely with universities, local communities, people with lived experience and experts across a wide range of fields.

We have developed a new Research Strategy for London Museum, underpinned by our ambition to become an Independent Research Organisation. Our research practice builds on our well-established collaborative doctoral programme, our world-class osteological research, and a strong track record of funded projects and publications.
