House Proud

5th October 2007 - 10th April 2008

Love it or hate it, there's no getting away from housework. Using rarely seen objects from the museum's collection, this exhibition looks at housework through the ages and the impact of labour saving devices.

Find out how clothes were washed before washing machines came along and how floors were cleaned before vacuum cleaners. And can you identify the mystery objects? This hands-on exhibition makes housework fun!
