Cultural Hub and the Barbican: 1st Dec

Invitation from the Barbican Association to all residents
Monday 1 December 6.30 Weston Theatre, Museum of London
What is the cultural hub?
What plans for development do the Barbican Arts Centre and the Museum of London have?
How might these plans affect the Barbican area?
Come and hear the directors of the Arts Centre and the Museum of London answer these and other questions.
The City of London is currently conducting a wide ranging review of the Barbican Area, including the idea of creating a cultural hub (http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/services/environment-and-planning/environmental-enhancement/strategies/Pages/Barbican-Area-Strategy-Review.aspx), and the Arts Centre and Museum are heavily involved in that process.
The Arts Centre and the Museum of London both want to attract more visitors and be more accessible and are keen to share their ideas about the cultural hub.
We have invited Sir Nicholas Kenyon, director of the Barbican Arts Centre, and Sharon Ament, director of the Museum of London, to talk to residents about the review, the cultural hub, and their plans for their respective organisations. This meeting will enable them to present their ideas and offer residents an opportunity to comment and ask questions.
We hope that you will come along and hear them.
