Now, you can recapture some fascinating moments of Christmas Past with several seasonal traditions at the Geffrye Museum, London. It is also a golden opportunity to celebrate the 400 years of festive traditions. With the beginning of festive season in London, the Geffrye Museum decorates its 11^th period rooms in a complete authentic festive style. Living rooms dating back to the 17^th century can also be seen at this museum. You can also discover the ways in which people of that century would have prepared for Christmas.

It is a great way to explore the vibrant Christmas traditions of the past. Most of the traditions portrayed and displayed at this museum are forgotten these days. Keeping in mind the Eco Home Exhibition going on at the museum, this year’s Christmas Past display is on the theme of make do and mend. Several homemade things will be focused on during this Christmas.
