About

Leighton House Museum was the studio-house of Frederic, Lord Leighton (1830-1896), one of Victorian Britain's most celebrated artists. This remarkable building is a palace of art, featuring the stunning Arab Hall with its golden dome, intricate Islamic tiles, and central fountain. The house showcases Leighton's paintings alongside works by his contemporaries including Burne-Jones, Millais, and Alma-Tadema.

The beautifully restored interiors and peaceful garden offer a glimpse into the aesthetic world of a Victorian artist at the height of his fame.
