#leightonhouse is both an art museum and a historic home that once belonged to the Victorian painter Frederic Leighton, 1st Baron Leighton. From the outside, the house is quite plain but inside, a surprise awaits. The interior is absolutely fascinating and unique.

Here are some pics from my recent trip to the stunning Leighton House museum. Former home & studio of artist Frederic, Lord Leighton, the house is a work of art in it's own right! #LeightonHouse #interiors #London #artist
A beautiful evening for the #LeightonHouse summer party - and warm enough to be believably Greek! @rbkc.gov.uk

Had a fantastic day of culture and inspiration... first stop the stunning #LeightonHouse, former home of artist Frederic Leighton. Then to the #DesignMuseum for the World of #TimBurton exhibition. SO GOOD! Theres so much here, #Wednesday costumes, tons of artwork, props and actual Jack Skellington!
I’ve posted about the gorgeous Leighton House in Kensington before, but I can definitely confirm that it’s worth revisiting. #leightonhouse #art

If you look closely can you see the figure tripping down the stairs?

Probably Frederic, Lord Leighton’s most well known painting, Flaming June. The painting resides in a museum in Puerto Rico. This small version is a color study that resides in Leighton House… 🎨🧡 @leightonsambournemuseums #flamingjune #fredericlordleighton #leightonhouse #kensington #london
