A pop-up Eel Pie Island museum will be housed at Twickenham library from next month.
The museum opens in early June and will remain at the Garfield Road premises until the end of October.
Organiser Michele Whitby said a permanent home is still being sought but the focus is currently on the pop-up site.
She said: “We really wanted to have something in place for the Twickenham Festival and the Rugby World Cup so the chance to do this at the library is fantastic.
“Local businesses and residents have already come forward to help, both financially and with offers of skills and time.
“We would like to thank them all, particularly David McGeachie, from Tenant Finder, the first business to offer sponsorship.”
