Empire on Display – South Kensington
Walk through Albertopolis tracing the interwoven histories of empire, education, and exhibition in shaping London’s iconic museum district.
Saturday 6th June
11:00 - 13:00
Stories of migration are stories of people, places and objects. Objects stay on long after the people have gone. They can carve out a path of belonging for the descendants of the people to whom those objects once belonged.
Join me on a walking tour to reclaim the narratives of imprisoned objects by exploring the museum district of London through the lens of people and events long forgotten.
This walk is part of a three-part series that explores how imperial power shaped London. By sharing these stories, we will map the global majority back into the city.
