Passmore Edwards Museum, Local history museum in Stratford, England.

The Passmore Edwards Museum occupies a grand building with Arts and Crafts sculptural decorations, featuring allegorical figures, decorative friezes, and cherub heads from 1898.

The museum began as the Essex Local and Educational Museum of Natural History in 1900, established through an agreement between the Essex Field Club and West Ham Corporation.

The building includes detailed sculptures representing Literature, Music, and Manufactures, with figures of Shakespeare and various artistic elements across its exterior walls.

The museum closed in 1994, and its collections transferred to Newham Heritage Service, while the building now serves as the Student Union for University of East London.

The facade contains caryatid figures supporting entrance arches and multiple sculptures depicting seminude figures representing different academic and industrial disciplines.
