We’re celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens with the Museum of London! In the UK’s first major exhibition on the author for over 40 years, the Museum of London is recreating the atmosphere of Victorian London through sound and projections and more. You’ll be taken on a haunting journey to discover the city that inspired his writings. Paintings, photographs, costume and objects illustrate themes that Dickens wove into his works, while rarely seen manuscripts including Bleak House and David Copperfield – written in the author’s own hand – offer clues to his creative genius.
