Bidding ends at 1559GMT on 26 November and the display will go on show at front entrance of the museum, at London Wall in the City, until February 2007.

Suggestions for the space include a piece of film, a photograph, your grandparents' wedding photographs, a P45 from a hated job and an unopened letter.
