Experience Tudor London by seeing and handling the 16th century artefacts

About

Experience Tudor London by seeing and handling the 16th century artefacts recovered by mudlarks from the River Thames in front of the former Palace of Placentia in Greenwich. Within the National Maritime Museum, mudlarks will display their private collections of artefacts which reveal everyday life in the palace – from the jewellery worn by the royal family to the food and drinks they consumed. The maritime history of Greenwich will also be showcased through mudlarks' discoveries.

*  Part of Totally Thames Festival 2022
