Charles Dicken's Museum

Charles Dicken's Museum

This house in Bloomsbury was Dickens' home from 1837-39, in which time he wrote Nicholas Nickleby and Oliver Twist. The museum features displays of letters, pictures, first editions, furniture and memorabilia in the restored rooms. There are usually temporary exhibitions.

The Charles Dickens Museum is the world's most important collection of material relating to the great Victorian novelist and social commentator. Synonymous with Victorian England, this is the only surviving London home of Dickens (from 1837 until 1839), author of such classics as 'Oliver Twist', 'A Christmas Carol' and 'David Copperfield'. The museum was opened here in 1925 and is still welcoming visitors from all over the world to its authentic and inspiring surrounding. On four floors, visitors can see paintings, rare editions, manuscripts, original furniture and many items relating to the life of one of the most popular and beloved personalities of the Victorian Age.
