Our exciting project to restore the East Wing and provide a new exhibition gallery will start from early May 2024 until 2025. Areas of the building will not be open to the public during the works. Find out more on our Project Update page and check out What’s On.
The history of our local communities can be read in our buildings, the different styles of architecture and the stories they tell. Some may still be with us, others vanished with changing fashions. The handsome Wood Green Empire and the Tottenham Palace are evidence of past entertainment pleasures – music hall, theatre, bingo and cinema. The 1930s Muswell Hill Odeon, on the other hand, with its beautiful Art Deco architecture, still survives.
