Cinema Museum, London

[4] Having survived a threat to its existence owing to the proposed sale of the building in 2011, the museum was engaged in efforts to secure its future with public funding.

[7] According to Time Out, "The Cinema Museum in Lambeth boasts an idiosyncratic collection of film memorabilia, including posters, art deco cinema chairs, ushers' uniforms from the 1940s and '50s, tickets, ashtrays and popcorn cartons, as well as an archive boasting hundreds of books, an estimated one million plus photos and 17 million feet of film.

From silent films shown in exactly the correct gauge and at the right speed using specially adapted projectors, to screenings of modern television culture.

[11] A campaign was launched with support from actors and filmmakers such as Ken Loach, and a petition to keep the Museum at the site gained over 52,000 signatures.

The developers who had bought the site gave the charity that runs the museum a period of time to buy the building and fundraising continues.
