2012 Programme

The MLA is playing a key role in the Cultural Olympiad. We want the Cultural Olympiad to transform the way people experience museums, libraries and archvies and to sustain a legacy for people in London and all regions. This Spring, we have launched our flagship project, Stories of the World. Phase 2 of Literature & Storytelling is now open. See below for details. For further information, please contact:
