Description
Fulham Palace is a remarkable place. The estate was owned by the Bishops of London for over 1300 years and the Palace was their country home from at least the 11th century. Vacated by the Bishops in 1975, the Palace is now managed jointly by Hammersmith and Fulham Council and the Fulham Palace Trust.
The Museum of Fulham Palace tells the story of this ancient site from Prehistoric times to the present day.
The permanent displays will reopen in March 2007 and will interpret our collection of paintings, archaeology and artefacts (including our famous mummified rat!) as well as the Fulham Palace model which shows the building in perfect detail at a scale of 1:50.
