The renowned Museum of London unveiled its million Galleries of Modern London in May 2010, to great critical acclaim. The five new galleries, which took three years to create, relate the history of London from 1666 to today, focusing on people and their fascinating personal stories. The museum has always been great for interactive exhibits, films taking you back to the times the exhibits describe and lots of areas for families of all ages. Best yet, the galleries and indeed the whole Museum of London are absolutely free. Every few months there are new temporary exhibitions which feature perfectly alongside the permanent exhibits and quite small children up to teenagers and adults can easily be fascinated for a whole day here.
