Museum of the Home's Revamped Gallery
Museum of the Home, a major museum in the East London cultural hotspot of Hoxton, opens Rooms Through Time: 1878-2049 on 23 July, the culmination of a six-year-long journey of research and community co-curation. The newly refurbished gallery will be home to seven new and permanent period rooms. For the first time at the museum, the rooms will welcome visitors to get hands-on in the rooms for an interactive journey into the lives and stories of people who have enriched the fabric of London over the past two centuries.

As part of Museum of the Home’s commitment to revealing and rethinking how we live in order to live better together, the gallery will introduce a more diverse array of narratives to the Museum’s renowned Rooms Through Time. Each room has been co-curated, using personal stories to speak to universal themes including migration, homemaking, belonging, and more. These narratives are deeply intertwined with the complex histories of migration and identity that have shaped London for generations, and which resonate on a national and global scale.
