The Museum of London is nearing completion of its £20m refurbishment which will see the opening of five new galleries.

Architects Wilkinson Eyre and the museum's in-house design team have transformed its display spaces.

The redesigned museum will feature the City Gallery, a new space housing the Lord Mayor's Coach; The Weston Theatre, a multipurpose space for films and performances which can also be used for corporate events; and the Clore Learning Centre, a 220-seat lecture theatre.

The new Sackler Hall features a 48m LED curtain and can be used as a private events space for up to 500 people, while a recreation of a Victorian Pleasure Garden will feature real trees and starry skies.

The new-look museum is due to open at the end of May.
