Museum of Neoliberalism to be knocked down for luxury flats

THE Museum of Neoliberalism in London is closing its doors for good this evening, before developers demolish and turn the site into luxury flats.

Founded by artists Darren Cullen and Gavin Grindon, the museum has been based in Leegate shopping centre in Lewisham since 2019.

The exhibition featured a timeline on the history of neoliberalism, and displayed artefacts including real-life anti-union posters, corporate-sponsored scout badges and an authentic bottle of urine from an Amazon employee. 

Developer Galliard Homes plans to demolish the shopping centre where the museum stands, and build towers up to 15 storeys high accommodating 562 residential flats. 

The museum will be open from 11am tomorrow and a closing party will take place at 8.30pm.
