The Charles Dickens Museum, the author’s former Bloomsbury home, is once again open following a major investment that has seen the building transformed and doubled in size in Dickens’s bicentenary year. The £3.1m Great Expectations project, funded substantially through the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), is the most significant legacy of Dickens’s bicentenary, securing the future of the building for generations to come and offering a brand new visitor experience for the 21st century. The re-opening of the Museum is a fitting finale to a year of worldwide Dickens celebrations. As well as restoring the house at 48 Doughty Street – Dickens’s home at the start of his career and the birthplace of classics Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nickleby – and opening the house’s attic and kitchen for the first time, the Museum has expanded into neighbouring 49 Doughty Street.
