Title: Bow Street Police Museum
Location: London, UK
Description: Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2003
Famous for the ‘Bow Street Runners’, the Grade II listed police station opposite Covent Garden Opera House is planned to be converted into the London Police Museum. The elegant stone building, which wraps around a central courtyard, will be restored and a glazed steel structure inserted into the centre, providing shop, restaurant and improved access facilities. The museum has been designed to encourage greater understanding of policing, particularly amongst young people, and will include a variety of interactive stage-sets, including emergency policing rescue and courtroom drama.
