Brent Museum and Archives sits on the second floor of the Library at Willesden Green, telling the story of the London Borough of Brent since its formation in 1965 from Wembley and Willesden. You can explore changing exhibitions such as the Reggae Album Covers show and a project on women in sport, search the museum's collections, or research your local area through photographs and history articles. It suits visitors interested in local heritage, families, and those researching family or local history via the archives, though the Archive Search Room is temporarily closed due to flooding. The museum is open daily with generous evening hours on weekdays. It's based in London, close to Brondesbury Park station, with 579 bookable places to stay within 5 miles if you fancy making a longer visit of it.
