Redbridge Museum

A new Redbridge Museum

Thanks to a £100,000 grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and funding from Arts Council England, Art Fund and others, a new permanent Redbridge Museum has now re-opened. The Museum team worked with residents, community groups and schools to plan and revamp the Museum's much-loved permanent exhibition.
