A message from 19 Princelet Street :

On Sunday 2 May (and every Sunday in May) the opens its dusty doors from
12 -
5pm to celebrate France's Printemps des Musées, and the stories of thousands
of French Huguenot refugees who shaped this area and the wider British
society.

A timely opening, coinciding with recent statements by Trevor Phillips and
renewed public debate about 'Britishness', our acclaimed exhibition
SUITCASES
AND SANCTUARY - an outstanding achievement created by primary schoolchildren
from many backgrounds, living in Tower Hamlets - challenges visitors to
discover
the true stories of British immigration and settlement.

Visitors can explore the magical Grade II* listed building, redolent of many
overlapping immigrant communities, at 19 Princelet Street, London's Museum
of
Conscience.

LEAVE TO REMAIN is a concurrent exhibition by 3 contemporary refugee artists
taking a wry look at asylum in Britain today.
