Red Bus Londinium Life

The archaeological site of the Shakespearean Curtain Theatre is set to host the Museum of Shakespeare, an interactive experience opening next spring.

The Curtain’s remains were found in 2011 and are one of the best preserved Shakespearean theatre finds to date.

The new museum will transport visitors to 16th century London, where you can perform on the stage where Shakespeare presented plays such as Romeo & Juliet and Henry V. Guests will live a day in the life of Shakespeare, learning about his life, inspirations, and creative process.

Located three metres underground and four centuries back in time, visitors to the Museum of Shakespeare will be immersed in the sights, smells, sounds and people that inspired William Shakespeare’s plays. Through digital projections, historic artefacts and animated performances made possible with AI, the Museum will transport visitors back in time to 1598 (21 years after the playhouse opened in 1577), a time of great creative risk and opportunity for a young Shakespeare.

Bombas and Parr have been on the London scene for sometime, notably transforming the roof of Selfridges into a mini-golf course during the London Olympics.
