Events currently running:
Choosing the Chintz: Men, women and furnishing the home, from 1850 to the present - Choosing the Chintz draws upon new research about the home to tell a surprising story about domestic decoration and furnishing. A range of evidence, including paintings, furniture, decorative arts, photographs, film, archival personal testimonies and trade catalogues, is employed to explore men’s relationship with furnishing the home in the nineteenth century, illuminating the way in which they actively engaged with the look and feel of their home. Until 22 February.
Opening of Refurbished Period Rooms: At Home in London, 1600 - 1800 - A major programme of refurbishment reached completion and over half of the Geffrye’s galleries re-opened to the public, completely re-thought and re-presented. The At Home project includes four brand new period rooms, dated 1630, 1695, 1745 and 1790, a series of new interpretive galleries, two new audio guides and a specially devised education and events programme.
