Dickens and London
Exhibition tickets will no doubt be flying off the shelves very soon as fans of the books, films and TV shows inspired by the writer learn about this exciting event. Taking place at the Museum of London, the life of Charles Dickens, from his humble beginnings as a worker in a blacking factory, is told through a selection of objects, manuscripts and paintings.
Exhibition highlights
Recreating the atmosphere of 19th century London, the museum invites you to enter the world of poverty, prostitution, childhood mortality and philanthropy, which are the key issues addressed throughout Dickens' novels. With Dickens and London exhibition tickets, you can learn about Dickens' own childhood experience of the Debtor's Prison, which he used as inspiration for Little Dorrit.and even see the rarely viewed manuscripts of Bleak House and David Copperfield, which were penned by his own hand.
Audio visual experiences
Alongside photos, costumes and other objects that explore and explain the writings of Charles Dickens, the exhibition features an array of interactive audio visiual displays that will immerse you in the sights and sounds of Victorian London. A specially commissioned film is at the heart of this part of the show, where Dickens and London exhibition tickets holders can see the work of William Raban, one of the UK's leading documentary makers. His feature explores the similiarities between contemporay London and that of the 19th century, as it was described by Dickens nearly 200 years ago.
The show runs from Friday 9th December 2011 - Tuesday 12th June 2012. If you would like to book Dickens and London exhibition tickets for the Museum of London, click on the Buy Tickets button for more information.
