‘A new London museum aims to go beyond the stereotypical views of refugees and migration usually found in the media, says Rosamund Urwin.’
From this week London gets a new Migration Museum. It’s starting out in a temporary home but the hope is that within a couple of years it will move to a permanent base. The director is a former immigration judge, who says almost all of us have a migration story somewhere in our family background.
The Migration Museum at The Workshop, opening in London today (Wednesday 26 April 2017), will fill a clear gap in our cultural landscape at a critical moment for Britain.
The project aims to provide context to frenzied political debate.
