The Artists’ Museum, produced by Camden Arts Centre, imagines London as the most exquisite museum collection in the world; unique, diverse, and extraordinarily fascinating. The project asks artists living and working in the Borough of Camden to select five objects, places, views or sounds which hold a particular interest for them. These might be found in a park, museum, pub or street.

Descriptions of the artists’ choices, along with details of where they are to be found, are recorded as podcasts so audiences can visit them at their location and or listen at home. Each Museum tour is also accompanied by a map showing the locations and descriptions of the items in the collection. Artists giving tours of the museum’s collections include: Siobhan Davies, Laura Ford, Antony Gormley, Simon Periton, and Richard Wentworth.
