Hackney Museum is a small museum in the Hackney area of London focusing on local history of the area. Considering the history of Hackney, a lot of the exhibits focus on the influx of people over the centuries and decades. The story starts with the Roman period, but the story rapidly shifts to the last 200 hundred years with a particular focus on immigrants and by extension the poorer members of society. There's also a small exhibition room which is currently dedicated to "black" music. Truly amazing to see some old school equipment. A real gem of a museum.

Small museum as a part of the Hackney community centre but definitely worth seeing, particularly to follow the development of Hackney over the past centuries as well as the social changes. It's free of charge and gives a better understanding of this area of London.
