	Geffrye Museum (London) - Review - Who lived in a house like this?
		The aim of the museum now is to portray the changing lives of the urban middle classes over a period of 500 years.
		The museum is set out in a logical chronological order I starts with an exhibition of chairs from the heavy uncomfy Jacobean ones to more ornate Georgian and Victorian ones right down to the present with our bland mass produced ones.
		The Museum does say it is unique as it is looking specifically at the urban middle classes but as a museum buff I felt that I had seen it all before (though it was nice not to have the pit cottages an, privy and mangles of most reconstructed period rooms).

	BBC - h2g2 - The Geffrye Museum, Kingsland Road, Dalston, London
		The museum itself is to be found opposite the Royal Standard Pub on the Kingsland Road just as you're approaching the Shoreditch/Old Street area, past Dalston.
		One could argue the case that the museum mainly specialises in the history of very posh domestic interiors (it's not until we visit the showrooms of the 1930s and 1950s do the period rooms on display suggest a more modest social standing) but this is perhaps being a bit picky.
		The Museum Guide tells us that walls were often decorated in this way with imported textiles, not only to demonstrate affluence and for the purposes of decoration, but to keep the warmth in.

		Originally, the museum was a row of almshouses for the poor, built in 1716 by Sir Robert Geffrye, former Lord Mayor of London, which provided shelter for 50 pensioners over the course of 200 years.
		The houses were rescued from closure by keen petitioners (the inhabitants were relocated to a healthier part of town) and were transformed into the Geffrye Museum in 1914.
		The former almshouses were restored to their original condition, with most of the internal woodwork intact, including the staircase, upper floors, closets, and paneling.

		It is the complex of almshouses founded in 1714 by Ironmongers’ Company in memory of Sir Robert Geffrye, a wealthy member who left a large part of his estate for philanthropic purposes.
		By 1912, however, the once rural almshouses had been swallowed by urbasisation and the pensioners were moved out of London, the local council seeing the need most of all to preserve the front garden as a badly needed “lung” for the area.
		The core of the museum is a succession of reconstructed rooms, with explanatory sections between them, but it begins with a single room that tells a history in chairs - “middle-class chairs from 1620s to the present”.

	Girl's Guide to City Life - London: Geffrye Museum, Shoreditch
		How refreshing then, to stumble across the Geffrye Museum of English Interiors, housed in an 18th century almshouse and charting the changes in middle-class life over the years through displays of period living rooms from 1600 to the present day.
		It's great to see how regular Londoners have lived in different times, and each room is accompanied by slick, modern multi-media exhibits focusing on a specific aspect of life at the time (like the rise in the popularity of tea-drinking) complete with audio clips from novels, diaries, and period music.
		The Geffrye is a great educational resource (the museum includes a Domestic Interiors Study Centre for more scholarly types) but it's also a lot of fun.
