The Antique Breadboard Museum, Putney
Putney has an unusual new museum, the Antique Breadboard Museum which has been open for just a year. The museum showcases an impressive collection of breadboards, knives and associated tableware, located in the late collector’s front room. The tours combine information provided by a long-standing cabinet-maker colleague, the collector’s own academic research and the collection itself. With 4 guests per tour, it is always very social, interactive and jolly, and personally curated by the collector’s daughter. It helps too that the collection is hands-on, and you get to choose your fave to present the scones. Cream tea is part of the package for a group rate of £60.
Booking by appointment: 020 8785 2464 theantiquebreadboardmuseum@gmail.com
