What's on
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.
Our temporary exhibition ‘Our Islington: Art of the Borough’ is open from 12 September 2024-12 January 2025. It celebrates Islington’s artists and artisans of all skill levels throughout time. Come see never-before-exhibited art and add your own art to our exhibition.
