the museum in docklands is part of the museum of london group， which explores the story of london's river， port and people， from roman settlement of the port， through to the recent regeneration of london's former docklands - a 2000 year storyline.
the museum is located over five floors of a splendid late georgian warehouse on west india quay - literally in the shadow of the canary wharf district - and offers twelve major galleries， a children's gallery， education services， functions suites， a restaurant and a shop.
galleries show how the region has been at the heart of centuries of social and economic change and pay homage to the people who helped to build and shape it - and those who continue to do so.
a design approach which unites traditional museum displays with multi media technologies， animates a rich and all encompassing storyline in ways which are both engaging and inter-active.
artefacts， engravings， paintings， testimonies and photographs drawn from the outstanding collections of the museum of london and the port of london authority， emphasise the skills and ingenuity of dockland communities. temporary exhibitions and events programmes will showcase the region's rich cultural heritage and provide a platform for contemporary expression and debate.
