Geffrye Museum

The Geffrye collects objects, images and texts in order to explore the history of English homes from 1600 to the present day. Some of the individual artefacts are of national importance, but the real significance of the collection lies in its extensive coverage of the material culture of the home. With 11 meticulously recreated period rooms, you can go back and forth between centuries in just minutes.

Learning

Learning and education has always been, and continues to be, a priority at the Geffrye, an essential and central part of the museum's purpose. Our professional team in the Learning and Education Department is specifically responsible for working with the broadest public to develop and deliver a wide range of imaginative and high quality learning and engagement programmes for people of all ages and abilities.
