Explore a Victorian merchant's house with its period furniture and beautiful paintings.
Sudley House has been described as a hidden gem. Tucked away in the leafy suburbs with its wonderful artworks it's easy to see why. Sudley is the only house of a Victorian merchant that still has its original pictures, and with the period furniture and rich atmosphere you could almost imagine it's still someone's home. And it is all FREE!
Most of the paintings and furniture can be found on the ground floor. They include works by Millais, Burne-Jones, Alma-Tadema, Rodin, Lord Leighton, Strudwick, Turner, Rossetti, Holman Hunt, Gainsborough, Romney, Reynolds and Landseer. With beautiful period furniture, carpets and wallpaper Sudley House doesn't feel like a regular gallery.
There's more on the artworks in our room guide.
The cafe, cloakroom and toilets are also on the ground floor.
There are several rooms on the first floor. They include a childhood room, a small world room and a costume room. Temporary displays are often housed in these rooms.
As well as the artworks that are permanently on display throughout the gallery we also have special events and exhibitions. These are all FREE.
These are temporary displays and can be seen in the galleries on the first floor. You can find out about current exhibitions by following the 'Exhibitions' link in the main navigation panel beneath the Sudley House logo on this page.
We regularly hold talks and workshops, often to tie in with the current exhibition. You can find out what is available on the day you visit by following the 'Events and activities' link in the main navigation panel beneath the Sudley House logo. All events and activities are free.
