Leighton House Museum, London

Leighton House Museum in Holland Park, London, was the home and studio of painter Frederic Leighton, built between 1865 and 1895. The house itself is the main attraction: Leighton designed it as a total work of art, adding rooms and decorative elements over three decades.

The centerpiece is the Arab Hall, inspired by Leighton's travels in the Middle East, lined with 16th- and 17th-century Islamic tiles, a gilded dome, and a marble fountain. The collection includes 81 oil paintings by Leighton and roughly 700 of his drawings, alongside works by fellow Victorian painters Millais, Burne-Jones, and Watts. It opened as a museum in 1900, shortly after Leighton's death.
