Migration Museum Project

Also known as: Mmp

We are establishing Britain's missing Migration Museum - a moving and inspiring permanent cultural institution to explore how migration to and from the country over the ages has shaped us as individuals, communities and nations. The museum provides context and backdrop for conversations as well as support for teaching and learning about migration, and drives representation and inclusion.
