Leighton House is reopening!

Exciting spaces, inspiring art, dreamy interiors

Leighton House will reopen to the public on October 15 following the major project of Hidden Gem to National Treasure. The museum has been transformed to provide a richer visitor experience, with new displays and exhibition spaces, restored historic interiors and improved facilities.

A fully refurbished new wing, which originated from the twentieth-century additions to the original house, reveals hidden original historic details and features additional exhibition spaces and displays, the De Morgan Café, looking onto the reinstated garden, a dedicated Learning Centre and a collections store. Full step-free access is also provided across the building for the very first time.

The Oneness mural, created thanks to your incredible support, is a key highlight in this 'new' Leighton House. Reflecting on the house’s unique dialogue with artists and craftsmanship from the Middle East, the artwork was completed in mid-March of this year, and will finally be unveiled publicly this October.

Plan your visit

Both Leighton House and Sambourne House will reopen to the public on Saturday 15 October 2022. Our opening hours will be:

Leighton House: Wednesdays to Mondays, 10am - 5:30pm

Sambourne House: Wednesdays to Sundays, 10am - 5:30pm

We recommend booking your ticket in advance if you wish to see the historic house - but some of our new spaces, including the helical staircase featuring Oneness, are free to visit, without need for pre-booking.

We look forward to seeing you all there, and once again, thank you for making art happen.
