Museums and Galleries
Located
in our Central Library in Ilford, the museum is it self
very young - opened in October 2000. It has a wonderful range of
exhibits covering the great age of Redbridge. It's not just about
looking. You can hear sounds and voices from past and present and
touch real objects - or learn from multimedia computer displays.
There is a Children's Trail, helping them discover what shaped
Redbridge to produce the architecture and landscape they see around
them today.
The museum is designed with accessibility for all in mind and
includes Braille and large-print labels and audio points with
transcriptions.
There are free education sessions linked to the National
Curriculum for school groups, and resources for teachers. It's a
highly informative day out for the family and, above all, it's fun,
and it's free.
If you would like enjoy some arts and crafts activities with
your family then come along to our Family Fun Saturdays or check
out our events page.
