A cowshed in Drury lane about 1850. About eight cows were kept in these premises in order to supply families in the nieghbourhood with milk. They were kept in almost complete darkness and so close together that they were almost touching. Some were even kept in the cellar.

Our galleries are quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, particularly on Saturdays, you may need to queue for our temporary exhibitions.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!
