One of Britain’s best-loved home and furniture brands, Habitat, celebrates its 60th anniversary with a free, interactive installation exploring how British homes have changed with the population over the years.

As people’s relationships with their homes evolve over time, design plays an important role in defining how we shape and experience the places we live in. And for the past six decades, Habitat has been at the heart of British homes, creating furniture and home decor pieces that seamlessly fit into their lives. In the Habitat installation in the atrium and outside plaza, discover five interactive displays that chart how design influences and reflects the surrounding world and impacts daily lives.

From colourful and textured statement pieces to considered lighting and spaces designed for slow living, visitors will see iconic objects from the brand’s new 60 years of design collection inspired by its heritage, that marries thoughtful design with individual character.

The Habitat installation will be open to visitors until Sunday 11 August 2024, following the museum’s opening hours. No tickets required.
