Listen: 140 Years of Recorded Sound (14th-15th and until 13th May) – Free As the name suggests, this exhibition is an auditory rather than visual experience. Celebrating the origin of recorded sound, it follows a timeline from 1877 featuring key events in sound recording history, with rare and unpublished recordings as well as a specially commissioned audio installation by composer Aleks Kolkowski. The exhibition is part of the Season of Sound, celebrating the Library’s sound archives. The exhibition can be found in the entrance hall of the British Library.
London Visions – (14th-15th April) – Free Last chance to see how artists, architects and designers reimagine London. The free exhibition uses video installations, architectural narratives and video games to explore imaginary visions of the city based on the challenges we face today. Head to the Museum of London for a glimpse into predictions of tomorrow’s world. No need to book ahead, you can drop in daily from 10 am, but the event has been listed as suitable for adults only.
