Wandsworth Museum

The Wandsworth Museum displayed local artifacts including a newspaper printing press and an 18th century papier-mâché doll within a Victorian building.

The museum opened in 1903 and closed in 2016, leading to the transfer of its collections to the Battersea Arts Collection for the BAC Moving Museum.

The collection represented daily life through the ages with exhibits ranging from Neolithic tools to transcripts of political debates from the English Civil War.

The museum maintained strong connections with libraries, schools, and community groups to facilitate educational programs about local heritage and creative learning methods.

Following its closure, thirteen permanent interactive art installations funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund continue to showcase the collection's historical significance.
