The Museum of the Home: formerly the Geffrye Museum. A selection of rooms throughout time.

The Museum of the Home used to be called the Geffrye Museum and is in Hoxton, London. It sits inside former almshouses- charitable housing provided to a particular community; especially representing the poor.

The building dates from 1714 and it has been a museum since 1914. Refurbishment took place between 2019-2021, and the change of name occured with its relaunch. It's meant to represent homes and home life from the 1600s to the present day.

Come and take a walk in my shoes through Gardens Through Time, then there are the new basement galleries, called the Home Galleries. They describe the concept of home through people's lived experiences. The Rooms Through Time interiors are designed to reveal rich and unique stories, rather than be about the artefacts themselves. They take you into living rooms from the 17th century right up into 2049, with the Innovo Home of the Future. There is also a moving art installation to look at plus a 300-year-old chapel, but my favourite section has to be the Garden Reading Room with its gentle, relaxing mural.
