Harrow Museum collections

Collections

As a borough museum the collection at Harrow Museum is made up of objects and artefacts that have strong links to the Harrow area.

The strength of the collections lies with Harrows industrial past, including an extensive collection from the Kodak factory, the Whitefriar's glass factory, and the Hamilton's paint factory. The museum also houses pictures by William Heath Robinson, on behalf of the Heath Robinson Trust. Harrow Museum also has an extensive collection of archaeology and social history objects, ranging from the Roman to the present day.

Harrow Museum aims to display many of its collections as possible through the use of temporary and permanent exhibitions. However, due to display space limitations, the museum only has the ability to display a small proportion of its collections at any one time. If you wish to view an item that is not on display, please contact the Museum Manager.

Harrow Museum is keen to expand its historic and modern collections to comprehensively reflect the Harrow community. We are especially keen to add items to the Harrow Museum Asian Archive, and the newly developing Harrow Museum African Archive. If you have an object that you wish to donate to the museum, please contact the Museum Manager in the first instance.
