Friends of the Geffrye Museum

Who we are

Friends of the Geffrye Museum exists to support the Geffrye Museum of the Home in two ways. Firstly, by raising money for the museum. Secondly, by raising the profile of the museum and its many activities.  The Geffrye Museum of the Home is a unique museum in Kingsland Road, Hackney whose topic is the family home from 17th Century to the present day. This is an exciting time for the Friends of the Geffrye Museum and the museum itself, as the museum has been closed for refurbishment. This has given us the opportunity to rethink our programme and to join in the build up to the stunning re-opening in Spring 2020.

Activities

Friends of the Geffrye Museum organises events which raise money for the museum and also are of interest to anyone who enjoys history, urban planning, structure of families, craft and design.
