The Dickens Museum in Doughty Street celebrates a century since it was saved from demolition by showcasing an exhibition featuring 100 objects significant to Charles Dickens' life and legacy. This exhibition holds the most comprehensive collection of Dickens' memorabilia, including the desk where he wrote numerous famous novels such as Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities. Curator Emma Harper emphasized the mixture of long-held treasures and new acquisitions. The display underscores the intimate connection between Dickens' literary genius and his personal life in the house where he resided with his family.
The exhibition highlights the best bits of the collection, some items that have been here since 1925, some old favourites, and some new acquisitions.
The exhibition celebrates the Museum's extraordinary and unrivalled collection of material connected to Dickens's life, work and legacy.
A quarter of what you see we have never displayed before including a sketch for a portrait...of a young, energetic Dickens starting off in Doughty Street.
Gathered together over the past century and displayed in Dickens's only surviving house in London, the Museum is filled with objects that define Dickens's life.
