“This new exhibition examines the private moments of lives in transit, in vignette form. Using seven rooms built in replica as a means to tell these stories – a bedroom, a kitchen, a classroom, a barbershop amongst others – we are invited into intimate spaces offering an immersive experience, where fragments collected from more than 100 volunteers in film, written, audio form impress upon the visitor the joys and the hardships that make up all of our migration experiences… The spaces are warm, not just places of longing and of sadness, but also of happiness, celebrating the joy to be found in the freedom to be yourself, go out dancing, meet kindred spirits half a world away, and maybe even fall in love.”

‘It’s a powerful exhibition that tells these eras through human stories, highlighting how Britain has always been a land of immigrants, and yet has always had a history of anti-immigration sentiment. Another great exhibition from this important museum.’

‘In their new exhibition ‘No Turning Back’, the Migration Museum draws attention to important moments in the history of migrant Britain, asking us to think about what has changed and what has stayed the same in our history.’

‘From the exhibition’s first pinpointed moment in 1290, when the entire Jewish population was expelled from England, to the first East India Company voyage to India in 1607, the project aims to educate on how migration has always existed and been part of a larger conversation within the country.’
