Museum for London – The Great Fire of London Live Stream – Part 1

Join the Museum of London on Monday 6th July at 2pm LIVE on Facebook – you must ask parents to log in for you as you shouldn’t have your own Facebook account!

See details below for all the information!

Session description

Our KS1 favourite is back! With a twist: this time, we’re streaming to schools and families over three consecutive weeks.

Each week you’ll take an interactive tour through part of our Fire! Fire! exhibition – an exciting display that marked the event’s 350th anniversary – learning key facts and seeing a mix of real and replica objects that tell the story of the blaze.

You’ll then have the chance to ask questions about what you’ve learned to our museum expert – who’ll answer some live! – without needing to leave your school or home.

Here are the dates, times and topics:

Monday 6 July, 2-2.30pm – Part 1: How the fire began
Monday 13 July, 2-2.30pm – Part 2: How the fire was stopped
Monday 20 July, 2-2.30pm – Part 3: How the fire changed London

How Did the Great Fire of London Start?
