The Museum of the Home, previously known as the Geffrye Museum, is a free museum situated in the historic 18th-century almshouses in Hoxton, London. Founded in 1914, it examines the theme of home and domestic life from 1600 to the present day through various exhibitions and period room displays. Highlights include the recently opened Home Galleries, landscaped gardens, and an on-site café. After significant refurbishment, the museum reopened in summer 2021, now featuring expanded exhibition and public areas. The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10 AM to 5 PM, with no admission fee. It is easily accessible via public transport and maintains a commitment to inclusivity for all visitors.
