Dave: We tried to split it up into four categories. We've got the environment; the archive section – which shows the history of the site; we've also got the impact - the impact on the area; and we've got under construction - the building of the site. And in each area it will show what's going on at that particular time when you took the photos and how the area is changing day by day.
Yang Li: The exhibition consists of four parts. They are: environment 环境;the archive 历史照片,the impact 奥运建设对当地的影响,最后是 under construction 施工。Mind you, this exhibition is only a small part of what's going on at this unique museum - The Museum of London Docklands. I learned from Ashley, another curator at the museum, that this is a grade one listed museum 国家一级保护建筑, and there is something very special about its location...
Ashley: Well I think, probably, the most important – the most special – thing about our museum is that we're actually situated within an original sugar warehouse. So we are a grade one listed museum. And you know, West India Docks in the 19th century was one of the most popular docks, was one of the busiest docks, in the busiest ports in the world. Our museum tells the history – not only of London and the River Thames was central to that – but it also tells the history of the River Thames and the history of shipping as well. So we're really fortunate to be based in this old sugar warehouse.
