Winter Past at the Museum of the Home
Discover the homes and traditions of winters past, present and future in the annual Winter Past exhibition.
About This Event
Explore how seasonal festivals and personal traditions shape the ways we spend time at home during the winter months in this reimagining of the stories in our renowned Rooms Through Time. Winter Past is an annual exhibition curated in collaboration with the Museum’s Community Authors, who share ideas, produce and suggest creative programming to challenge the ways we work, ensuring that Museum of the Home remains representative and inclusive to all.
