About

Charles Dickens' Birthplace Museum is a writer's house museum in Landport, Portsmouth, England, situated at the birthplace of the eminent English author Charles Dickens; and as such played a prominent part in the 2012 bicentennial celebrations. It is one of six museums run by Portsmouth Museums, part of Portsmouth City Council.

The house has been owned by the town and then city of Portsmouth since 1904. Its interior underwent significant restoration in the 1960s.
