About Sambourne House
- 🔍 Sambourne House is a hidden gem in a residential area, so it might be a bit challenging to find without paying attention.
- 🎨 The museum offers five floors filled with personal artworks, furniture, and splendid design in its original arrangement.
- 🏰 It has a different charm compared to Leighton House and it’s recommended to visit both as they complement each other greatly.
- ⌛️ It’s like stepping back in time to the Victorian era and gives you an immersive experience of the cartoon artist and his family’s presence.
- 📷 The photographic studies displayed alongside the cartoons are fascinating and add an extra layer of interest.
- 💫 Well-preserved and beautifully presented Victorian home decorated with cartoons created by Linley Sambourne for Punch magazine.
- 💐 Every aspect of the house is adorned with interesting interior decorations such as rich wallpaper, ceramics, vases, stained glass, stuffed animals, creating an opposite feel of minimalist design.
- 😊 A highly recommended visit for those who appreciate homes filled with character and want to get a glimpse into how people lived during that time period.
