Closure of MoDA

Middlesex University has decided to close the Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture

Official statement on behalf of Middlesex University Executive:

“Like many Institutions in the HE sector, Middlesex University faces huge financial challenges.

As a key part of our strategy, the University is currently undergoing a wholescale Accelerated Change Programme, (ACP), to ensure the University’s financial sustainability.

Under ACP, the decision has been made not to renew the lease on its premises in Colindale when it ends on October 2026. The university is no longer in a position to support this important resource.

Therefore, with great regret, the University is proposing to close MoDA to students and visitors from the beginning of the academic year 2023/24 and cease all its operations by July 2024.

Middlesex University is proud of the work of MoDA and its staff. It is committed to securing the future of the collections by ensuring they are housed in appropriate home(s) so they can remain an important resource that are seen by as many people as possible.”
