Our priorities

The London Borough of Enfield's Museum Service is currently going through a period of change and development.

Our immediate priorities are to involve and include the people of Enfield in our work; and to improve our work with schools.

Mission statement:

Enfield Museum Service will bring together and celebrate the history and diversity of Enfield; it’s people and places. By collecting, caring for and interpreting objects, we will create opportunities for everyone to experience, learn from and enjoy the past and present.

We will make this material available in a variety of formats and in an educational, entertaining and inclusive manner.
