Wearing Your Heart on Your Lapel

Spitalfields Market Porter's Badge

Museum of London one-off special event!

On Friday November 28th, come and have a look at a range of badges relating to the events and issues of London's history in the last 50 years. The badges on show will range from the political, cultural, radical and the comical. What aspects of London's history motivated its inhabitants to wear a badge to advertise and promote their feelings, passions and principles? Have a look at our badges and be inspired to make your own one to show how you feel about London. Please bring along any you think might be of interest to curator, Elizabeth Scott. Some of the badges on show today will be on display in our new Capital City galleries when they reopen in 2010.

The 45 minute drop-in object handling event starts at 3pm and is open to anyone over 16 years of age.
