The Unworthy

From the Museums own website description: 

Over the 102 years that Poorhouse was in operation, thousands of people were admitted there. Why did they end up at the Poorhouse? What was everyday life like for them, and what became of them after they left?

These questions lie at the heart of the museum’s largest exhibition project to date, “The Unworthy”, which opened on 20 June 2026.

The exhibition is presented in rooms that have until now been closed to the public. The first floor is accessible by lift, but there is no lift to the second floor. Visitors who are unable to access the second floor can experience exhibition-related interpretation on the ground floor.

The exhibition is the museum’s new permanent exhibition.
