PIN Leighton House Museum

Wonderful Tribute to Philanthropy

From modest beginnings, Leighton House became known as a Private Palace of Art. "Built by one of the most eminent artists of his day- Frederic Lord Leighton." He lived there for 30 years and its very being embodies what it was to be a successful artist in the Victorian era and gives an insight to the wealth, status and taste artists enjoyed at that time.
It is the only purpose-built studio house in the United Kingdom of its time, Leighton originally built it `for his own artistic delight.` The building is a mix between beautiful Arabic Mosaics and an old traditional English house- a true masterpiece to see.

Triptide Thoughts

The bursting colours of the mosaics are absolutely dazzling, especially the room with the mosaics of greens and blues is breath-taking. This museum is genuinely a work of art. What is so wonderful about this museum is the contrast between the Arabic-mosque like areas and the traditional English home, which really captures the diversity not only in culture but art and in fact serves to celebrate this diversity.
