Hackney Museums secure £2.2m for major transformation

Hackney Council has been awarded a £2.2m grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund






Hackney Council has been awarded a £2.2m grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund

Designs for the £2.2m modernisation of Hackney Museum have been revealed today, as the Hackney Council-run museum reveals plans to present its historical collections in “bold and exciting new ways”.

The four-year project will require Hackney Museum to close for a year from late 2025, reopening by early 2027. The museum will continue its work through community projects across the borough until its reopening.

Its current displays, which opened in 2002, explore the stories of migration and settlement to the area.
