Museum of the Home is a free museum, registered charity, and is open to all. We exist for the benefit of everyone, and your support is vital to us. Your support, large or small, plays a crucial role in revealing the history of the home and rethinking how we can live better today.

With your support, we can:

  • Share our beautiful Grade I-listed site with over 185,000 visitors every year
  • Create a haven for nature and people alike within an area of limited access to green space
  • Uncover personal stories of home, giving a voice and representation to our East London community.
  • Spark curiosity and joy via the universal subject of Home with diverse, accessible talks and workshops
  • Work with community partners such as Hackney Foodbank and Hackney Foster Carers, to promote greater wellbeing within our local area
  • Maintain our restored historic Almshouse 14, to ensure many more generations can discover what life was like in Hackney two hundred years ago.
