The Geffrye Museum

The Museum of the Home (formerly the Geffrye Museum) in Hoxton, East London, explores 400 years of domestic life through immersive period rooms, from 1600 to the present day. Located in 18th-century former almshouses, this free museum offers a journey through changing styles, a Rooms Through Time display, a 1780s restored almshouse, and relaxing period gardens. Rooms Through Time is a series of 11 displays showcasing urban middle-class living rooms, highlighting how home life has changed, including a Victorian parlor and a 1990s loft. Behind the museum is a series of period gardens and a leafy, aromatic herb garden (adapted from AI at google).
