A part of Whitechapel's famous monster fatberg will go on display at the Museum of London in early 2018.

It will form part of the museum's year long season of events and displays, City Now City Future.

Having worked closely with Thames Water and a range of experts Museum of London are excited to be able to display this fascinating and disgusting piece of London's history.

In September 2017, Thames Water made a horrifying discovery in a sewer below Whitechapel: the fatberg, a 250 metre long, 130 tonne mass of oil and grease congealed with wet wipes and other sanitary products . It’s the largest ever discovered, and the Museum of London wants to put it on display. Sharon Robinson-Calver, Head of Conservation and Collection Care, explains how the museum is tackling the monster fatberg, and how you put a piece of toxic waste on display.
