November 2024An excellent museum focusing on the history of the domestic space with an understandably U.K./Hackney/East London emphasis. Very thoughtful insights into the demographics of these communities over the years. Of course contains I important social commentary. Good lighting, tactile/interactive displays/exhibits and helpful/friendly staff. Several wings (although it looks like I may have missed one) , a herb garden and a “gardens through the centuries” type exhibit and a gift shop. Cafe is still in the grounds but in a separate building.

February 2025This is a lovely museum! You can see the change of house interior throughout the time. There was a special photograph exhibition by David Hoffman, telling the story of how squatters used to live and face gentrification of White Chapel.

January 2025Fascinating and immersive museum showcasing the history of the home, situated within a former almshouse building. Exhibits range from personal stories of London residents, displays of household objects, and my personal favourite "Rooms Through Time", authentic recreations of rooms from different periods of history. Well kept gardens add an outdoor element to the experience, demonstrating varying gardening styles from different eras. Written displays are clearly presented and easy to read, and interactive displays are provided, ideal for a family visit. Expect to spend a good couple of hours to see everything. The museum is free to visit, with comprehensive facilities including an on-site café, gift shop and toilets. Donations are welcomed to help with upkeep. The exhibits are fully wheelchair accessible.

January 2025Wonderful & relatively small museum showcasing not only dioramas of houses throughout different eras, but more generally the living conditions of the people along with their human-interest stories. The scenes and objects in each room are so detailed and vivid that I can almost see how the people inside used to go about their day. I even find some of them sentimental.
