Museum of the Home

Museum of the Home is housed in Grade I-listed, 300-year-old almshouses in Hoxton, East London. We reveal stories of home life - past, present and future - to spark empathy, debate and understanding. Our work is driven by the belief that home is universally relevant but deeply personal. Everyone is welcome to explore the meaning of home through our exhibitions, installations, programming and content. No other museum in the country specialises in this particular aspect of our national heritage. Our galleries reveal objects, artworks, images and personal testimonies to encourage and challenge different ways of thinking about domestic life today. What do you display on your shelves or dress your living room with, and what does this say about you? How does being a young carer affect your experience of home? How do you create home in a new town or country? These stories reveal and rethink the ways we live, to help us live better together.
