At the heart of the Museum is a unique collection of over 7000 objects, oral history and film.Display in Redbridge Museum

All these objects are connected to Redbridge in some way. Most date from 1800 to the present but there are also local archaeological collections.

Our collection continues to grow with donations from local people and through work with the local communities on our exhibitions programme. Most of our objects have been donated by people from Redbridge.

Visit Exploring 20th Century London to find out more about some of the items in Redbridge Museum's collection.
