The Migration Museum in Lewisham has now closed. Thank you to everyone who visited us during our five wonderful years in Lewisham.

We are opening in our new permanent home in the City of London in 2028 and while we do not currently have a venue open to the public, we are continuing to offer community and learning outreach and external walking tours and events as we prepare to open our permanent home in 2028.

Visit the What’s On section of our website to see upcoming external events and

sign up to our mailing list to be the first to hear about upcoming external events and outreach and our progress on our journey to create Britain’s missing musuem.

⭐ ‘Visit’ us online: You can engage with our work online via our Heart of the Nation: Migration and the Making of the NHS online exhibition, our Taking Care of Business: Migrant Entrepreneurs and the Making of Britain online exhibition, our 100 Images of Migration online gallery, and our Departures: 400 Years of Emigration from Britain podcast.

⭐ Donate: Making a one-off gift, or a regular commitment through a monthly contribution, will enable us to continue our work and build the momentum of the museum.

School, college and university outreach

We do not currently have a venue open to the public, so we are unable to host in-person school trips. In the meantime our award-winning learning team is continuing their work through outreach, assemblies, online visits and walking tours. 

Please get in touch with our Learning Manager Tia (tia@migrationmuseum.org) to enquire about booking a learning engagement. We deliver workshops for Upper Key Stage 2 – Key Stage 5, as well as talks for university students. To support your lessons, you can also explore our online learning resources on our resource bank and sign up to our Learning Mailing List to stay up to date with our latest learning events and resources.
