S is for Secrets of the Thames @ London Museum Docklands

Join us on a visit to the Secret of the Thames exhibition at London Museum Docklands.

Unearth fascinating objects and stories from London’s past in the UK’s first major exhibition dedicated to mudlarking.

Twice a day, the River Thames dramatically recedes to expose a landscape unknown to most Londoners. Among the mud and the stones, the tides reveal remarkable objects from every era of London’s rich past. The exhibition features over 350 mudlarked objects, from intimate personal items to historical relics, with many on display for the first time.

Step into the shoes of a mudlark and explore the foreshore, uncover artefacts and learn how they identify and curate their personal collections. The journey ends with a space for reflection on the mysteries of the moon and the tides that make mudlarking possible, leaving visitors with a powerful, contemplative memory of their time uncovering the secrets of the Thames.

Blending archaeology with contemporary art and digital experiences, Secrets of the Thames offers fresh perspectives on London and all its people – past and present.

WHATSAPP GROUP FOR PRE-VISIT CHAT & LIVE LOCATION ON THE DAY:
Link will be posted 48 hours before the event in the Comments section below.
This group is for those who have RSVP'd and are on the "Going" list. Please message a host if your Meetup and Whatsapp names are different, otherwise we'll assume you're a spammer and not let you in :).
Joining the WhatsApp group will make your phone number visible to other members.

PLEASE NOTE:

• LoMAZ events are run by volunteers. We have an attendee limit to help the host manage the event. We prefer a smaller, friendlier group.
• If you can no longer attend please change your RSVP to 'Not Going' as soon as possible. This lets someone on the waitlist take your place.
• If the event is full Meetup will add you to the waitlist. If someone drops out, waitlisted attendees are automatically moved to the 'Going' list by Meetup in order of priority.

We remove members from the LoMAZ Meetup group who:

• RSVP as ‘Going' but then do not show up three times in a row.
• RSVP as ‘Going' but then change their RSVP to 'No' five times in a row.
• Have not RSVPd to the event, but turn up anyway.

Thank you for your interest in the group & being part of LoMAZ.
