Special exhibition: At Home with the World
Until 9 September 2012
As we prepare to welcome the world to London this summer, we ask: How 'English' are our homes? The answer is perhaps surpring. Many of the familiar objects in our homes today have either come from overseas or been influenced by other cultures. At Home with the World tells a fascinating story about how a myriad of the domestic designs, decorations, materials and social customs we consider to be 'English' in fact originate elsewhere.
