A third Pepys exhibition in London

So far this year there are exhibitions about Pepys at the Public Record Office and at the Guildhall Library. Now the excellent Museum of London is getting in on the act with an exhibition focusing on the city during Pepys’ life. It runs from 8th May to 3rd November and the press release gives more information. (Thanks for the tip Queen Bee.)

  The Museum of London Pepys exhibition is great!

  Well worth checking out … but no mention of www.pepysdiary.com. I recommended they install a computer with internet connections so users could link into that day’s diary. Perhaps one of you London readers could pester the MoL to do so?
