Museums and galleries - general information

Information and advice on museums and galleries in the local area. The galleries and museums may be owned and operated by the local authority or by other public bodies. The council may also choose to provide information on privately run museums and galleries in the local area.

Enfield Museum Service aims to collect, record, preserve and interpret material culture to reflect the diverse nature of the borough and its communities.

We will make this material available in a variety of formats and in an educational, entertaining and inclusive manner.

There is one museum in the borough which is supported and run by the LBE, at Forty Hall, a Grade I listed Jacobean House. It has local history displays about the London Borough of Enfield.

The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday, 11.00 - 16.00.

Disabled access is only available to the ground floor.

The museum service also organises exhibitions around the Borough including at local libraries and at the Civic Centre.

We are currently planning a new museum for the borough as part of the new development in Enfield Town Centre. This will consist of a new permanent and temporary exhibition space in conjunction with the local history library.

We like to work on projects with the local community and welcome your comments and suggestions.
