Gunnersbury Park Museum is the local history museum for the London Boroughs of Ealing and Hounslow.
The museum's role is to collect, keep safe and display the past and present history of its two boroughs including Acton, Bedfont, Brentford, Chiswick, Cranford, Ealing, Feltham, Greenford, Hanwell, Hanworth, Heston, Hounslow, Isleworth, Northolt, Perivale and Southall.
The museum was opened in 1929. Since then it has collected a wide range of objects, paintings and photographs which reflect life in Ealing and Hounslow Boroughs from prehistory to the present day.
It still continues to collect material to make sure that visitors in the future will be able to see how we lived today.
The collections are now so large that most of them are in storage, but they are brought out for public view through a programme of regularly changing exhibitions. Items not on show can be viewed by appointment.
The museum is housed in the Large Mansion at Gunnersbury Park and has its display galleries in the grand, State Rooms.
Visitors to the museum can see a range of changing exhibitions that include local history and other local themes (some staged by local people or groups), alongside a variety of other shows.
The museum also provides a programme of schools' workshops, provides tours and talks (bookable in advance) and each year stages special events for children and adults.
Museum staff answer enquiries relating to local, social history and museum themes and identify objects brought into the museum.
Please note that our Museum staff cannot value objects.
