Friday Late at London Transport Museum

 
9 January 2014

London Transport Museum is celebrating spring and all things bright and beautiful at our Friday Late on the evening of 17 May as part of Museums at Night.

Visitors can enjoy twilight tours of the Museum’s latest exhibition Poster Art 150 – London Underground’s Greatest Designs, and listen to author Andrew Martin discussing his latest book Underground, Overground - an anecdotal and humorous take on the history of the London Underground from the passengers’ perspective; perfect for the non-trainspotter.

Get quizzical with the Brightest London quiz and unleash your creative side with make-and-take workshops – create a small botanical inspired papercut with artist Claire Brewster, or screen print spring and Brightest London poster inspired designs on to canvas bags with Artyard Handmade.

See some of the posters in the Museum’s poster parade display brought to life with short animated films by students from Central Saint Martins and dress up for a photo shoot to recreate the Brightest London poster – come glammed up with fabulous dresses and shawls, top hats and bow ties.

Look out for:

  • Readings by author Andrew Martin from his book Underground, Overground
  • Make-and-take workshops – screen printed tote bags and botanical paper cut artwork
  • Brightest London quiz
  • Evening viewing of the Poster Art 150 exhibition with curator-led tours
  • Screenings of animated films created by students from Central Saint Martins
  • Poster pop-up photoshoot: Brightest London poster recreation

Tickets to Brightest London are £8 (£6 concessions) and can be booked online here or by calling 020 7565 7298.
