\u201cLondon Calling<\/em> is The Clash\u2019s defining album, a rallying call for Londoners and people around the world,\u201d said Beatrice Behlen, senior curator of fashion and decorative arts at the Museum of London. \u201cThe album\u2019s lyrics reflected contemporary concerns, many of which are still relevant today, as it moved away from traditional punk by adopting and reworking much wider musical influences. At the Museum of London, we tell the stories of our capital through the objects and memories of the people who have lived here. This display will provide a brand new, exciting and vibrant take on this, showcasing rarely seen personal objects and telling the incredible story of how London Calling<\/em> was, and for many still is, the sound of a generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exhibition will open November 15th and run through the spring of 2020. Admission is free.<\/p>\n
