THE GEFFRYE MUSEUM TRUST

The Museum of the Home explores the theme of home through galleries, rooms through time and gardens, special exhibitions, learning programmes and community engagement activities. Formerly known as the Geffyre Museum, it is housed in the 300-year old Geffrye Almshouse buildings in Hackney,and encourages people from London's diverse communities to learn about home - a theme common to everyone.
