The exhibition which will launch in time for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games explores the parallels between Roman London and the today’s modern capital. It is the largest update to the Museum’s Roman gallery since it opened in 1994.

Gibbs was appointed by exhibition curators, the Museum of London’s youth panel, Junction, to create a series of four illustrations of modern and Roman objects in his ‘doodle’ style.   Gibbs says, “This is a great development of my work and has the iconic look of my trademark illustrations.”
