Our reopening – coronavirus update
The Museum and gardens are currently closed. 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 don't yet know the impact the current situation will have on our planned reopening. We hope to reopen later this year. We continue to monitor the situation and follow government guidance.
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
