"Reimagined to reveal and rethink the ways we live and think about home, this museum feels especially timely after a year when the idea of home has been so central to everyday well‑being. Closed for renovations before the pandemic, I imagine an analysis of 2020 will feature prominently, and they’re even asking the public to share experiences for their Stay at Home project (it may sound like homework, but don’t psychologists say the best way to deal with bad memories is to confront them head on?). Don’t miss the new Home galleries with new stories, including that of Shirin who moved to London from Zanzibar and Harry who lived in the same east London house for most of his life—as did four other generations of his family—and Rusty the tortoise. Gardens Through Time offers an outdoor survey of city gardens from Elizabethan knots and Georgian rooms to modern roof gardens. Formerly called the Geffrye Museum, it’s set to reopen in late spring." - Kate Crowther
