The Brunel Museum is a London-based museum, dedicated to the Brunels, and their great achievements, notably the Thames Tunnel, birthplace of the tube system.
The present building was a roofless ruin twenty-five years ago, and six years ago the museum was open to just 500 visitors a year.
Today it is open every day and runs community & education events that draw over 15,000 people to the Museum each year.Â
The Brunel Museum is housed in Marc Brunel’s original Engine House, and features a fascinating exhibition on the Thames Tunnel’s construction and history. The museum has a bookshop and its own café serving coffee and home-made cakes.
