Temporary closure: Kingsland Road Gardens
The Kingsland Road Garden will be closed from Wednesday 15 - Monday 20 April 2026 due to maintenance work. Access to the Museum remains open via the South Gate on Kingsland Road.
Construction work at the museum
Construction work will be taking place below our Rooms Through Time: 1878–2049. While this work happens, you may experience some noise in these galleries. There will also be occasional short-term closures of the galleries themselves.
Thanks for your patience while we make these improvements.
