The Cinema Museum in Lambeth has a new website, which is rich in images of its collections of cinema memorabilia, and the buildings in which these are housed. However, the Museum is having to look for a new home. As this article in The Observer reports, the NHS Trust which owns the building (a former workhouse, which once had Charlie Chaplin’s mother as an inmate) is selling it, and the Museum needs to find a new home by March 2008. Photographs of possible new homes are included on the website.
There’s a marvellous video on the site, and on YouTube, made in 2000, in which Museum founder Ronald Grant shows us round the collections.
