We're being taken over by international artist Scanner! Explore sonic London through creative installations, intimate gigs, workshops, and talks and discover the hidden noise of our modern city. You’ll also be the first to hear Scanner’s new immersive sound installation, Bridging the World, inspired by our exhibition, Bridge. With an after-hours view of Bridge, late night bars and food.

Highlights of the evening

Bridging the World
Be one of the first to experience Scanner’s new immersive sound installation inspired by our exhibition Bridge. From London to New York City, Shanghai to Sao Paulo, names of iconic and forgotten bridges create a world travelogue that inhabits and enlivens the museum.

Scanned voices
Scanner uses snippets of scanned mobile phone conversations to create a sonic collage of our city.
