The Cinema Museum is a charitable organisation founded in 1986.

The content of The Cinema Museum ranges from items relating to film production to film exhibition and the experience of cinema going. It represents cinema's rich history from the earliest days to the present.

The Museum in Dockland’s mission is to inspire a passion for London by communicating London's history, archaeology and contemporary cultures to a wider world, reaching all of London’s communities through playing a role in the debate about London and facilitating and contributing to London-wide cultural and educational networks.

The main museum is located in the Covent Garden in central London, in a large building built in 1872 and formerly used as part of the Covent Garden Flower Market. The museum has on display many examples of buses, trams and rail vehicles. It also has explanatory displays on many aspects of London Transport, including hands-on displays intended to appeal to the younger visitor.

The London Transport Museum reopened a few weeks ago after undergoing a £22.4 million refurbishment.

The Foundling Museum tells the story of London’s first home for abandoned children, the Foundling Hospital, and chronicles the lives of the children through a fascinating social history exhibition.

She was designed by Hercules Linton and built in 1869 at Dumbarton in Scotland, by the firm of Scott & Linton, for Captain John Willis, and launched November 23 of that year.
