Our reopening – Covid-19 update
The Museum and gardens are currently closed for redevelopment. However our work continues and our digital home is open for you to explore stories, share your experiences, enjoy activities and find out more about the Museum's plans for the future.
We hope to reopen later this year. The pandemic has affected our construction programme and reopening plans. As lockdown restrictions lift and other museums and galleries reopen over the summer, we are reviewing the impact of lockdown and following government guidance for our own reopening. We will announce a reopening date soon.
These are challenging times for everyone. If you can support us by making a donation so we can continue with our vital collecting and programming, thank you.
Do follow us on social and sign up for our monthly enews for all the latest news.
Our staff are working at home. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm. For enquiries please email info@museumofthehome.org.uk
