Krios of Sierra Leone at the Museum of London Docklands

The Museum of London Docklands has always been one of our favourite museums. No matter how many times we go, there is always something new to see.

We have long wanted to see the Krios of Sierra Leone exhibition which has been on display at the Museum since September 2019. We finally got to go last week and were not disappointed. The exhibition aims to publicise the largely untold history, heritage and culture of the Krios people from Sierra Leone and it certainly achieves that objective.

It was fascinating and informative to see how many famous people are of Krio descent. One of Historycal Roots’ old favourites, Samuel Coleridge Taylor (below), is one such example.

We won’t risk spoiling your enjoyment by telling you everything about the exhibition but if you can get along to view it we can guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
