Here are just a few of the fascinating exhibitions at the Museum Of London.

London's Voices is the first exhibition devoted entirely to the recorded memories of those at the centre of the capital's history. An innovative display of sound and text will enable visitors to delve into the professions and passions of a variety of Londoners. Voices from many of the capital's communities will offer a sense of its rich cultural diversity, and reveal some of the hidden connections that exist between us all.

Together for the first time: London's earliest ladies

A cosmopolitan woman, concerned by her looks, interested in international design, and with a taste for fine wine – could this be the first true London lady? From 18 October 2002, the remains of the oldest female to have been found within central London will join a detailed facial reconstruction of the earliest known Greater London woman on display at the Museum of London. Together, they will show what it was like to be one of the capital’s first ladies.

The earlier skeleton, dated between 3640 and 3100BC, was found in Staines Road Farm in Shepperton in 1989. Following detailed work carried out by Caroline Wilkinson of the University of Manchester, a facial reconstruction can now be unveiled for the first time. It shows a woman with striking but heavy features, who died when she was between 30 and 40 years old.

Sumptuous paintings of Bacchus and his followers are usually found in the capital's art galleries, not buried amongst the rubble on a city building site. Yet an archaeological dig in the City of London has revealed one of the finest examples of Roman figurative painting in Britain.
