The building was built for Frederic Leighton (1830-96), one of the leading painters of the day, who became President of the Royal Academy. The original architect, George Aitchison, made a number of additions to the building including the Arab Hall in 1877-9. The huge window, which let daylight into the studio, is visible from the garden. The adjacent Perrin Galleries, designed by Halsey Ricardo, were opened in 1929.
Situated in Holland Park, this museum contains not only the artwork of Lord Leighton and of his contemporaries, but provides a fascinating insight into the private world of Victorian life and aesthetics.
