Leighton House was the home of Victorian artist Frederic, Lord Leighton PPRA. 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.
