On Windrush Day, the anniversary of the Empire Windrush arriving at Tilbury Cruise Terminal in 1948, we are excited to present our new exhibition HOME: Remembering the Windrush Generation.
Curated by Tony Fairweather, HOME is a nostalgic look back at the well-remembered homes of the Windrush Generation. A recreation of the iconic Caribbean front room, kitchen and bedroom, this exhibition showcases many family favourites, from the Blue Spot Gramophone to the eclectic ornaments displayed in glass cabinets.
To commemorate this significant day, we are opening our doors on this year’s Windrush Day, Wednesday 22nd to welcome all audiences to immerse themselves in the social history of the Windrush Generation and learn about the cultural significance of artefacts from the era.
FREE ENTRY on 22 June
