Uncover a museum's evolution over the last 100 years.
Leighton House is marking its centenary as a public museum with a wide-ranging programme over two years, charting its journey from its acquisition by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in 1926 to preserve its legacy, to its award-winning redevelopment that has transformed it into a museum fit for the 21st century.
This exhibition presents never-before-seen materials, photographs and contributions from the public, documenting how it shapeshifted over the decades to serve the needs of its audiences. Did you know? At one point, the museum even housed a library for children.
