Leighton House Museum has been open to the public since 1900. Yet it was conceived and built, not as a museum but as a studio-house for the eminent Victorian artist Frederic, Lord Leighton ; the only person ever to call it home.
The publication, produced to mark the reopening of the Museum after twelve months of restoration and refurbishment, tells the fascinating story of how it has been returned closer to a home than at any time since Leighton's death in 1896.
