Pitzhanger Manor, Art and house museum in Ealing, England
Description
Pitzhanger Manor is an art and house museum in Ealing featuring Greek Revival and Georgian architectural styles. The building contains glass domes, mirrors, and carefully composed rooms that house both historical collections and rotating contemporary exhibitions.
History
Sir John Soane acquired the property in 1800 and completely redesigned it as his country residence. Over the following decade, he refined the design, establishing it as a showcase of neoclassical principles.
Culture
The gallery regularly presents contemporary art works by established artists in its rooms. These exhibitions create a conversation between modern pieces and the historic character of the building itself.
Practical
The museum opens on weekdays and weekends with extended evening hours on the first Thursday of each month. Check ahead before visiting, as opening times and exhibitions may change seasonally.
Did you know?
The manor houses an original painting series by William Hogarth called 'A Rake's Progress' that shaped how later artists approached narrative works. This collection is rarely seen outside the building and remains a draw for art historians and collectors.
