From 21 April visitors will have a chance to visit their premises at the redeveloped Flower Cellars on Wellington Street and take in their opening exhibition Magnum on Set, a celebration of cinema, displaying the work of some of the greatest photographers of the 20th century from the legendary agency, Magnum Photos. The exhibition will also be supported by original artefacts from the silver screen and personal cameras used by the photographers. It has never before been seen in the UK and will include some of the most recognised film images in the world including photos of Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe. Magnum on Set will also introduce a whole new level of interactivity to the London Film Museum experience as visitors will be given their own Apple iPad while viewing the displays to allow for more detail, multiple languages and intelligent education packages (IEP).
