Gainsborough's House
Gainsborough’s House combines the childhood home of Thomas Gainsborough – a Grade I-listed eighteenth-century Merchant house and its historic garden – with impressive new exhibition galleries and visitor facilities. Gainsborough (1727–88) is one of Britain’s greatest ever artists and his birthplace and childhood home is a national asset. The house was saved from destruction in 1958 and opened to the public in 1961 to promote the wider knowledge, appreciation, and enjoyment of the art of Thomas Gainsborough and to preserve and enhance the house and its collections for the benefit of present and future generations. In 2019, Gainsborough’s House embarked on a major capital redevelopment. This project transformed the site with a new three-story exhibition wing, a study area, improved print workshop, a new cafe, shop, and office spaces as well as the full restoration of the Georgian townhouse. These new facilities were opened in November 2022. Our new galleries, study areas and visitor amenities have vastly increased access to exhibitions and the permanent collection. They have also enabled us to serve new audiences from the regional community with imaginative exhibition, workshops and learning programmes that meet their specific, wide-ranging needs.

Leighton House And Sambourne House Museums
Tucked away in Holland Park, a leafy neighbourhood in West London, stand Leighton House and Sambourne House. They are the extraordinary legacies left by two ‘celebrities’ of the late Victorian era – Frederic Lord Leighton (1830-1896) and Edward Linley Sambourne (1844 -1910). Combining living and studio space, the houses remain largely unchanged today. Leighton and Sambourne lived as neighbours for over 20 years and had many acquaintances in common. They were widely known to their contemporaries; Leighton as the most prominent artist of his day, a celebrated painter and president of the Royal Academy of Arts and Sambourne as Chief Cartoonist at the infamous satirical magazine Punch. Their similar tastes were reflected in the furnishing of their homes, both filled with sculpture, blue and white ceramics and glassware. But if we delve beyond the physical artefacts, what do we know about these men, their lives and careers, and why do their former homes capture our imagination today?

Old Operating Theatre Museum And Herb Garret
The Old Operating Theatre Museum & Herb Garret (OOT) was founded in 1962 and is an independent charity, governed by the Lord Brock Trust (LBT), at the heart of London’s Borough of Southwark. It raises income from admission, group visits, shop sales, events and venue hire, supplemented by grants, sponsorship, and donations and is Fully Accredited by Arts Council England. Housed in the attic of the early eighteenth-century church of the old St Thomas' Hospital, the Museum offers a unique insight into the history of medicine and surgery. The original timber framed Herb Garret was once used to dry and store herbs for patients' medicines and in 1822, an operating theatre was built within it to host surgeries as part of the hospital’s treatment and teaching responsibilities. Predating the periods of modern anaesthetics and antiseptics, it is the oldest surviving surgical theatre in Europe.
