The object of the charity is to promote, encourage, maintain, improve and advance education of the public in the life and works of Charles Dickens and to establish and maintain the property at 48 Doughty Street in the London Borough of Camden as a Museum to house and preserve all articles having connection with Charles Dickens.
The Charles Dickens Museum is the leading centre for the study, appreciation and enjoyment of Charles Dickens’s life and work. With over 100,000 items comprising furniture, personal effects, paintings, prints, photographs, letters, manuscripts, and rare editions, the collection is significant for its breadth and depth. A temporary exhibition programme enhances and complements the Museum’s permanent displays, and we offer a range of learning and engagement opportunities.
