Information about current and upcoming exhibitions, special programming, and how to get involved.

Permanent display

Islington Museum's permanent display includes objects and stories from Islington’s local history, from prehistory to today. Most of our collection is from the 1700s onwards.

Current exhibition

Our Space: 1 May to July 2026 

This community exhibition shared research from University College London (UCL) called 'Embodying the Social'. The project looks at women's real-life experiences of Blackstock Road and Finsbury Park. Many women say these places can feel unsafe and overwhelming, especially at night.

The exhibition includes art installations by artist Lucy Sabin. These are based directly on the research. They use creative methods such as photography, walking interviews, collage and emotional maps.

The exhibition also includes artwork made by Islington residents. Together, the displays show how feeling connected to your community can improve safety and wellbeing.

Free entry. 

Supported by a UCL Knowledge Exchange Grant and a Grand Challenges Mental Health and Wellbeing Pump-Priming Award. Free Admission.
