The Museum of the Home
Description
A series of old almshouses that have been converted into a museum of interior decoration.
Wonderfully old fashioned, and they have a range of changing displays throughout the year, including their annual Christmas decorations.
A refurbishment opened up the basement spaces which now show off the history of home appliances. There’s also a research library that can be visited by appointment.
A garden and a decent cafe round up the museum.
(Formerly the Geffrye Museum)
