**THE CINEMA MUSEUM

The Cinema Museum will take you back to a time when "picture palaces"  offered pure escapism.  Its corridors are full of movie memorabilia, from old film posters to cinema seats, Art Deco carpets and doors, light fittings and usher's uniforms.

The museum is the result of one man's obsession, Ronal Grant fell in love with the movies as a child growing up in Scotland.  As a teenager he trained to be a projectionist and began collecting anything to do with film.

By the 1980s he had amassed so much material that he needed somewhere to display it!  Finally, the collection moved to the old Lambeth Workhouse in South London, where it is now open to the public. Charlie Chaplin stayed here as a child.
