About Us
Driven by experience of homelessness. MoH explores the art, history and culture of homelessness to change society today. The first museum of its kind in the UK, we make the invisible visible through collecting, research, events and exhibitions.

This section of the site contains a monthly selection of an object or story chosen by a member of the MoH community and although not publicly accessible they can be viewed on request.
