Museum of Homelessness

Archive, exhibitions and events centring on lived experiences of homelessness
The Museum of Homelessness reopens to the public on 17 April, having shut for the winter to run as an emergency cold weather shelter.
Created by people with experience of homelessness, it’s a museum by name, but so much more by nature, with educational events and exhibitions centring on changing perceptions of homelessness, as well as practical services such as food distribution and connecting people with the right support. There’s an essentials cupboard, too.
The Museum of Homelessness in Finsbury Park is open for free public visits from April until November, Pre-booking is essential. Donations welcomed.
Visit the Museum of Homelessness website to find out more and see what’s on, or book your visit now.
