'The Journey' exhibition is now closed from 22nd October.

If you are visiting in the coming months, please excuse us but we've got the builders in! Don't worry, we are still open as usual - it just may be a little less tidy than normal. After years of planning, the men in hard hats are here at last to renovate and expand this special place.

Among the things being built are: a bigger & even better version than ever of our popular exhibition 'The Journey'; a new garden art installation; a new collections store for our important collection of Holocaust art, artefacts, photographs & documents; and new visitor facilities. It all sustains the legacy of our founders, the inspirational Smith family and the Holocaust survivors they built this place for - in their very own home and with little outside financial assistance.

This substantial redevelopment has been made possible with the generous support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Arts Council England, our long standing friends and partners at Pears Foundation and some 40 other donors. Each and every one of them has been incredibly supportive, which we will be acknowledging when the new-look site is unveiled in the Autumn. 

For now - while we undertake these spectacular, once-in-a-generation works, please pardon our appearance!
