See how the season has changed London homes through the last 400 years, from festive decor and food to the ways people kept warm, entertained themselves, and gathered with loved ones.
This year, the Museum’s newest permanent gallery - with rooms from 1878 to 2049 - will debut new stories of winter. These rooms will showcase the festive season evolving across different periods and communities in East London.
You'll journey from a joyful Midwinter Celebration in 1630 to Midnight Mass in 1956, a Christmas Party in 1978, and even glimpse a futuristic New Year’s Eve in 2049.
