The history of the Crystal Palace is kept alive at the museum which tells the story of both the Hyde Park and Sydenham Crystal Palaces. The museum is housed in the only surviving building constructed by the Crystal Palace Company built around 1880 as a lecture room for the Company’s School of Practical Engineering.   

The story of both palaces is told in a series of unique images supplemented by large scaled models plus showcases displaying ceramics and other items associated with the Crystal Palace including remnants from the original building. Adjacent to the museum is the base of Brunel’s water tower.
