Fulham Palace Museum Entry

A visit to the museum and historic rooms of Fulham Palace in London, tracing the lives of the bishops who lived there, with a botanical strand, a sensory room and a display on colonialism and slavery.

The museum at Fulham Palace follows the people who lived in the building, the objects they left behind and the rooms they used. Visitors move through the historic interiors, where the bishops and their households are the central thread, and the chapel shows how faith shaped daily life at the palace.

Bishop Compton's interest in plants from across the globe is presented through botanical drawings and herbarium specimens, and the garden outside contains examples of what he cultivated. A sensory room invites visitors to listen to the palace's sounds across different periods, and archaeological finds recovered from the site are displayed up close.

A separate exhibition addresses stories of resistance, examining the bishops'links to colonialism and the transatlantic slave trade. The visit suits those seeking a short look as well as people with a longer day, and families can pick up a trail from the front desk to follow with children.
