Collections of the Museum of London
A mid-seventh century Anglo-Saxon brooch recovered from a grave in Covent Garden, currently on display at the Museum of London.
The central medallion depicts a bull-slaying scene. Around the border are 12 signs of the zodiac. The sun ('Sol') and moon ('Luna') are depicted in the top corners, with two wind gods in the bottom corners. The inscription indicates that "Ulpius Silvanus, initiated into a Mithraic grade at Orange, France, paid his vows to Mithras," perhaps by building a temple to Mithras in London. The inscription "Ulpius Silvanus / factus Arausione / emeritus leg(ionis) II aug(ustae) / votum solvit" translates to: "Ulpius Silvanus, having become retired from Arausion's legion, paid the vow of Augustus II."
A stone relief from Roman London in the 3rd century A.D. was found re-used as building material at Blackfriars. The museum caption reads, "Limestone relief depicting four female figures sitting on a bench holding bread and fruit, a suckling baby, a dog, and a basket of fruit. They are probably portraying the three native mother goddesses, although the fourth figure cannot be explained."

Museum of London

London, Great Britain

The Museum of London, once a prominent cultural institution, has closed its doors permanently. This beloved attraction was known for showcasing the rich history and vibrant stories of the city. However, anticipation is building as a new museum is set to open at the historic Smithfield Market site in 2026.

A New Chapter for London's History

The upcoming museum at Smithfield promises to breathe new life into the cherished narratives of London. Visitors can look forward to an exciting collection that will continue to celebrate the city’s diverse past, its people, and the events that shaped it.

Continuing the Legacy

While the Museum of London awaits its new home, the Museum of London Docklands remains open to the public. This site offers a fascinating glimpse into the maritime history of the city, exploring the impact of trade, migration, and commerce along the River Thames.
