The City of London looks after a huge collection of important and fascinating artefacts which have hardly seen the light of modern day. This purpose-built exhibition space will change that and display a rotating selection of the archive's best bits, including the finest surviving thirteenth-century version of the Magna Carta from 1297, which features the world's first sticky note, a memo which reads 'Make it Happen', as well as the Cartae Antiquae – transcripts of the City's medieval charters and statutes. Future exhbitions will include Shakespeare’s purchase deed for a house in Blackfriars. Admission is free.
