Handel House Museum

This museum is a tour through Handel's home, introducing the visitor to the composer, his music and his legacy through displays of fine and decorative arts including important works from the Handel House Collection. The upper floors of this interesting museum were also home to rock legend Jimi Hendrix.

Located on the upper floors of 25 and 23 Brook Street. A meticulous restoration project has restored as faithfully as possible the early Georgian interiors Handel would have known. He lived at the Brook Street house for 36 years and died there in 1759.

By this time he owned over eighty paintings suggesting that, in his time too, the principal rooms of the house would have been covered with fine art. A selection of prints and paintings from the collection is displayed in 25 Brook Street alongside loans from major national collections including a magnificent portrait of Handel after Thomas Hudson.
