Garden Museum

The Garden Museum (formerly the Museum of Garden History) aims to become the leading national venue for exhibitions and debate on gardens and garden design. We opened our doors on Tuesday 18 November 2008 having undergone a dramatic transformation. While the historic structure remains untouched, we welcome visitors to a newly designed interior with a sequence of individual spaces for exhibitions, the permanent collection, education, café and shop. For the first time a selection from our collection of work on paper is on display; and we began a series of temporary exhibitions with "Beth Chatto: a Retrospective". In the words of our Director, Christopher Woodward, our aim is to capture ‘the garden zeitgeist.’

Note: Garden museum is peaceful places in london. The traffic may still speed by, but inside the garden walls, the pace eases a little and visitors enjoy the garden at whatever level we choose, from knowledgeable plantsmen inspecting flowers in detail, to those who understand little of horticulture but still enjoy relaxing in a garden environment.
