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 and The People's Record are also now underway. See below for details.
