Community Producer

ABOUT MUSEUM OF THE HOME

We’re the only Museum of the Home in the world – revealing home as an emotional, psychological, socio-political and economic space – as well as the bricks and mortar. Museum of the Home is a movement as much as a museum – seeing home as a lens through which many of the vital issues impacting the world can be viewed and solutions found.
