In addition to all the wonderful costumes that helped transform
Meryl Streep into
Britain's iconic first and only female
Prime Minister, there was also a fantastic selection of original props from 2011's
The Iron Lady on display at the
London Film Museum on May 15, 2012.
Original props featured in The Iron Lady
This collection of
Margaret Thatcher's handbag (and contents),
Conservative Party Conference ribbons, name tags and badges, plus newspaper props always reminds me of much effort and detail goes into creating the movie world we see on the big screen.

Margaret Thatcher memoirs book prop
We see
Meryl Streep as
'Margaret Thatcher' signing copies of this memoir in the present day at the start of the movie.
Young Margaret election poster props
Before she was married to
Denis Thatcher, she campaigned as
Margaret Roberts as shown in these
Parliamentary election posters from the movie.
House of Commons Lady Members sign prop
This
'Lady Members' sign had a funny part in the movie when
Meryl Streep opens the door in the
House of Commons to find a symbolic ironing board within.
Geoffrey Howe resignation letter prop
Also on display in the prop exhibit was a copy of
Deputy Prime Minister Geoffrey Howe's resignation to
Margaret Thatcher from the movie.
If you're a fan of this political biopic, be sure to also check out these
original costumes worn by Meryl Streep and Alexandra Roach in The Iron Lady.
