Gunnersbury Park Museum: A Journey Through Local History
Gunnersbury Park Museum serves as the local history museum for the London Boroughs of Ealing and Hounslow. It keeps safe and displays the rich history of communities like Acton, Brentford, and Chiswick.
Founded on May 21, 1926, after acquiring the estate from the Rothschild family, the museum is housed in a former banker's mansion. Architectural features and the surrounding Grade II listed park highlight its historical significance. After a major restoration funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund in 2018, both the park and museum have become vital cultural resources for the community.
