Museum of the Home - New gallery, new exhibitions, new café 🤩

 

What’s new at Museum of the Home

As you may have heard, we’ve been busy behind the scenes transforming our Rooms Through Time. But that’s not all—we have a delightful late summer season including new exhibitions, a fashion show, and the return of our much-loved Ceramics in the City fair! You can enhance your visits to the museum with guided tours, new family provisions and, of course, a stop at our freshly reopened café.

For families

Families brought a big burst of energy and joy to our museum takeover last Sunday to celebrate the opening of our new gallery!💥 With activities spread all across the Museum, children heard the story of the winter melon, watched mesmerising mythical dance, illustrated zines about their homes, made music and lots more! A huge thank you to the facilitators, performers, food vendors, the brilliant team of volunteers as well as all the hundreds of amazing families who attended – you made it a day to remember.

Visit us for a family day out this summer! We have galleries bursting with stories and beautiful gardens—something for all ages. Pick up our Garden and Home Galleries trails, new sensory explorer bags, and let your imagination run wild in the Sensory Den and Playroom.

We are open Tuesday to Sunday and Bank Holidays, from 10am to 5pm

Molly’s is open every day! Walk-ins are welcome. Booking is recommended.
