🇬🇧 Museum of the Home | Finding Domestic Inspiration on Your Travels

On my final morning in London, I wandered through East London to discover this gem - the Museum of the Home, conveniently visible right outside Hoxton Station. Unlike grand, formal museums, this intimate space showcases real living spaces across eras and cultures. From ornate Victorian parlors to messy 2000s apartments littered with game consoles, each meticulously recreated room feels like its inhabitants just stepped out - spices crowding kitchen counters, half-read books on nightstands, clothes draped over vintage radiators. These are homes you might have actually lived in. Highlights: 🛋 1870s British living room bathed in artificial sunset glow 🍳 1910s Jewish kitchen with sizzling cooking soundscapes 🌈 2000s LGBTQ+ shared apartment radiating warmth 🎁 Thoughtfully curated gift shop treasures What Makes It Special: • Community-curated exhibits amplifying diverse voices • Photo wall exploring evolving definitions of "home" • Proof that inspiration lives in life's small details - how light falls through a window, where to place that perfect chair 📍136 Kingsland Rd, London E2 8EA 🎫 Free entry (no booking needed) | Tue-Sun 10AM-5PM Why You'll Love It: ✔️ Time-travel through domestic history ✔️ Discover forgotten household innovations ✔️ Spark ideas for your own space ✔️ Free temporary exhibitions ✔️ Peaceful garden courtyard Pro Tip: Visit their "Room for Tea" café for homemade cakes amidst vintage furniture! ☕🍰 #InteriorInspo #HomeVibes #DesignMuseum #LondonWeekend #HiddenGems #DomesticHistory #LivingSpaces #LondonCulture #MuseumHoppers
