‘Home’ means different things to all of us and comes in all shapes and sizes.

To make a home feel like it belongs to us, whether it is a space that we occupy alone or share with others or part of our first home or our home from home, we fill each space with personal objects and stories, creating our own unique collections.

Working in partnership with local resident’s association REACT, Home from Home, the first of two major exhibitions as part of our Object Stories project funded by National Heritage Lottery Fund. This exhibition explores what home means to the people of Enfield, told through residents’ personal objects and stories of memories, journeys, working lives, social lives, and making home. The exhibition also takes a fresh look at objects in our existing collection, helping to illustrate these personal stories.
