We’re thrilled that @Portal_Trust has become an inaugural donor of our new permanent home. We’re immensely grateful and looking forward to working with our new neighbours in the City of London to support the creation of a Migration Museum for Britain and our award-winning learning programme.

Finally visited @MigrationMuseum in its final week in Lewisham - should have got my act together sooner as it’s fantastic, creative, engaging, open & really inspiring. Hope it finds a temporary home & looking forward to seeing it in its permanent home in Aldgate in 2027.

Thank you for speaking so warmly and eloquently about our plans for a permanent home @debs_wb. And thank you to everyone who came and for your support on the exciting next step of our journey towards creating Britain's missing musuem. #MigrationMuseum #AllOurStories

“If we’re trying to find a British story of migration that seeks to reach beyond polarisation, the spirit of how we rewrite the story of migration matters. It’s not about throwing out one dominant narrative and writing a new one. It’s about weaving more stories into the tapestry.” @sundersays of @britishfuture delivered a fascinating and thought-provoking @migrationmuseum Annual Lecture this evening. Massive thanks to Sunder and to chair @rafaelbehr, to @easterncityldn for sponsoring and to @merchanttaylor1 for the stunning venue. We’ll be sharing the recording and highlights of Sunder’s lecture soon - watch this space. #MigrationMuseum #AnnualLecture #AllOurStories

"We should have a much more compassionate, inclusive and celebratory approach to migration." Huge pleasure to champion the @MigrationMuseum. 🌎
