De Morgan Centre facts for kids
The De Morgan Centre was a special art gallery in Wandsworth, England. For several years, it was home to the amazing De Morgan Collection. This collection features beautiful artworks from the 19th century.
The De Morgan Centre first opened its doors in 2002. It was located in a building that used to be the West Hill Reference Library in South West London. The centre allowed people to see the unique De Morgan Collection up close.
In 2007, the West Hill Library closed. After that, the De Morgan Foundation shared the building with the Wandsworth Museum. Both the De Morgan Centre and Wandsworth Museum closed to the public on June 28, 2014. This happened because the building's owner, Wandsworth Council, ended their lease.
Where to See the De Morgan Collection Now
Since the De Morgan Centre closed, the De Morgan Foundation has found new homes for its collection. You can now see these wonderful artworks at Cannon Hall. Cannon Hall is a museum that has been officially recognized for its high standards.
