This museum affords visitors a glimpse into the life and times of famed 18th-century composer George Frideric Handel -- and American rock legend Jimi Hendrix (more on that later). Today, the home has been lovingly restored, complete with artifacts, documents and architectural elements that speak to the bygone era during which Handel penned so many still-beloved masterworks. The museum hosts a continuing series of lectures, workshops, concerts and gallery-style exhibitions, fodder for history and music buffs alike. Many events make use of gallery space in the house itself and in neighboring 23 Brook Street, where Mr. Hendrix made his residence in that special time known as the Late 1960s. See website for events calendar and complete visitor particulars. Review © 2009, Wcities |
