more East End treasures stolen by the City of London Musuem

eastendfact | 22.08.2008 13:30

Jo Lyon, an archaeologist from the Museum of London has been publicising how a secret dig removed the traces of the real Shakespeare's theatre to the City of London's Museum of London. This has been part of a systematic removal of architectural treasures from the East End. The Museum did not deem it important to save a people's medieval pulpit perhaps because it was a place which challenged the status quo as any person however ordinary could give their views. Return our heritage and stop stealing

The City of London and its museum keep stealing treasures that should be available for the public.
