One of London's most important venues is the Museum Of London, housed in a building near the City. It has what is likely to be one of 2014's most popular exhibitions. Sherlock Holmes (17 October 2014 - 12 April 2015) will be the largest exploration of Sherlock Holmes in the capital for over 60 years, drawing on the museum's fabulous Victorian and Edwardian collections and bringing material from across the globe, as well as costumes and props from the recent BBC series starring Benedict Cumberbatch. On a smaller scale, the museum will also show Designing A Moment: The London 2012 Cauldron (from 25 July), a new permanent gallery dedicated to the construction of Thomas Heatherwick's copper Olympic cauldron, showing its design and construction through photographs, drawings and test pieces. Also with an Olympic theme, the museum will show illustrations by Nicholas Garland (25th July - 28th September 2014), the artist in residence at the London 2012 Games. The museum will also be revamping some of display areas and creating new spaces for archaeological finds and contemporary collecting.
The Museum of London is a part of the larger Barbican Centre, where Digital Revolution (3rd July - 14th September 2014) will celebrate digital creativity in the UK looking at artists, film-makers, architects, designers and game developers who are changing their fields using digital media, augmented reality and artificial intelligence. Also at the Barbican gallery, Constructing Worlds: Photography and Architecture in the Modern Age (25th September 2014 - 11th January 2015) will feature 250 photos of world architecture from 18 international photographers going back to the 1930s and spanning continents.
