After a rollercoaster of closures and cancellations, what does it mean to 'reopen the Museum better'? Find out how we've adapted our programmes, improved our galleries and delivered inspiring new projects in this blog by the Museum's COO Elizabeth McKay.

Rudi Newman, a Doctor of transport history and London Transport Museum volunteer, talks about one of the highlights in our collection, the Metropolitan Railway steam locomotive No. 23.

Depot volunteer guide Nick Gill explores the 1964 poster 'Music in London' by Hans Unger and Eberhard Schulze, one of the thousands of iconic posters in our world-renowned collection of transport posters and artworks.

Thomas, one of our Volunteer Welcome Hosts, talks about one of his favourite Underground maps in our collection and shares his experience as a wheelchair user travelling on the Underground.

Now that we've reopened our doors, we're back on track to deliver our fantastic programmes for families and schools, starting with fun activities at the Museum in Covent Garden and at the Museum Depot in Acton during May half term.

With upgraded digital screens and information points, interactive displays and new digital installations, the Museum has never looked better! Find out more in this blog by our Head of Design & Presentation, Sau-Fun Mo.
