Our Story

Every year the London Children’s Museum provides over 100,000 children and their families the chance to make memories that last a lifetime. Children who visit will learn how the world works, who they are, and who they might become in the way that they learn best – through play! We offer 9 permanent exhibits and stimulating learning experiences that allow kids to explore their history and heritage, investigate the complexities of science and social relationships, and celebrate the beauty in art and culture. The London Children's Museum is here to help them indulge their curiosity and play their way to a life of innovation and creative discovery!
