The London Museum has received a £20 million donation from Bloomberg Philanthropies along with an extensive collection of archaeological artifacts, primarily Roman in origin. These artifacts were discovered during the construction of Bloomberg's new office and include significant finds like Britain's largest Roman writing tablet collection. The artifacts will enhance research opportunities into early Roman London and be displayed in the museum's new subterranean galleries scheduled to open in 2026. The Director of the museum emphasized that this donation not only preserves heritage but also creates opportunities for current and future Londoners.
The collection together with this generous donation represents a momentous gift that ties the past to the future and which will be a lasting legacy for London.
This archaeological project, also funded by Bloomberg, was one of the most significant excavations in London's history... revealing the earliest surviving voices of Roman Londoners.
