LLeighton House was the home of Victorian artist Frederic, Lord Leighton PRA.
It is one of the most remarkable buildings of the 19th century, containing a fascinating collection of paintings and sculpture by Leighton and contemporaries. From modest beginnings it grew into a ‘private palace of art’ featuring the extraordinary Arab Hall with its golden dome and intricate mosaics. During this exclusive evening event Friends can learn about the life and work of Lord Leighton, the House’s painstaking restoration, and enjoy a glass of wine.
