The cauldron is now on display in a new exhibition in the Museum of London:

The London 2012 Cauldron – Designing a moment

From July 2014 a new home for the London 2012 Cauldron will tell the story of this iconic symbol of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The exhibition will celebrate Thomas Heatherwick’s cutting edge design and the unforgettable moment it was revealed to the world during the Olympic opening ceremony.
