Foreword - Introduction - Frederic Leighton 1830-1896 - The Building of 2 Holland Park Road - From House to Museum - The Interiors - Life and Work at 2 Holland Park Road - The Collections at Leighton House Museum Today - Paintings and Sculpture by Leighton in the Leighton House Museum Collection - Bibliography.
Beginning as a comparatively modest house in 1865, over the next thirty years it grew along with Leighton's reputation and social standing, repeatedly extended and embellished, and enriched by a fascinating collection of fine and decorative art.
This companion guide traces the story of the development of the house and Leighton's life there. It includes detailed room-by-room descriptions of the interiors, and a narrative of the changes in fortune that followed its conversion to a museum.
