Housewarming: A Front Room in the 1970s
Enjoy exclusive late-night access to our galleries for an evening themed and inspired by A Terraced House in 1978, curated by Dr. Michael McMillan.
About This Event
This Museum Late will be an opportunity to take a closer look into A Terraced House in 1978 and the story of a working class British Caribbean family living in a council house on De Beauvoir Estate, Hoxton during the 1970s. A Terraced House in 1978 is an iteration of the much praised and internationally exhibited The Front Room by writer, playwright, artist/curator and scholar Michael McMillan.
As you explore, discover the personal stories and histories woven throughout our new galleries. We'll be open late, offering you the chance to explore our Rooms Through Time, featuring period rooms depicting domestic life and homemaking from the last 400 years.
