The Women's Museum is a small museum and gallery in Barking, within Barking and Dagenham, open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 12pm to 5pm. Its current exhibition, Materiality of Memory, sits alongside an engagement programme called New Town Culture and a run of events including film screenings in partnership with Film London, a screening and scanning workshop, and a lunchtime curators' tour. It suits visitors interested in contemporary exhibitions, film and community-led programming rather than large-scale collections. Barking station is just 0.4 miles away, making it easy to reach, and if you're staying over there are 95 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, so it fits neatly into a short visit to the area.
