Archive Visits

Later this year, the Brunel Museum will be running a series of special group visits to the London Metropolitan Archives where we will display our beautiful collection of Marc Brunel’s watercolours, sketches and early designs of the Thames Tunnel.

Our expert guides will also be on hand to tell you more about their unique history and how the Thames Tunnel itself came to be known as the ‘eighth wonder of the world’.

ARCHIVE VISITS

In 2017, the Brunel Museum acquired a beautiful collection of designs and watercolours of the Thames Tunnel produced by Marc Brunel, Isambard Kingdom Brunel and various other draftsmen and engineers involved at the time.

With over 30 individual drawings in the set, ranging from small pen-and-ink sketches of the tunnelling machinery to enormous lithograph prints of the entire tunnel, they are an integral part of the Thames Tunnel story.

As the Brunel Museum will undergo redevelopment in the next few years, these will eventually be on full display in our permanent Engine House exhibition but are currently held offsite at the London Metropolitan Archives.

Therefore, later this year, we will be running a series of special group visits to the archives where our expert guides will deliver talks on the Thames Tunnel watercolours, which will be laid out for you to view and enjoy.

As part of these visits, guests will also receive a copy of the Brunels’ Tunnel guidebook.
