Curator Tour: Leighton House, A Journey through 100 Years

5 November 2025
1pm-2pm
£20

Join Senior Curator Daniel Robbins on an exploration of the exhibition 'Leighton House: A Journey through 100 years'.

Leighton House is famous for the richness of its High Victorian interiors. But the appearance of the house today is the result of several decades of painstaking recovery and recreation which you will discover on this tour.

To coincide with the exhibition Leighton House: Journey through 100 Years, join Senior Curator, Daniel Robbins in an exclusive tour as he time-travels through the last few decades of Leighton House, from the whitewashed interiors of the post-war period to the splendour of the present day. Daniel has led the museum's major restoration (2008-2010) and its latest award-winning refurbishment (2018-2022) and he will share fascinating insights of both projects.
