Compton Verney is an award-winning gallery housed in a Grade I-listed Georgian mansion amid 120 acres of Capability Brown parkland in Warwickshire. The six permanent collections are as rich as they are idiosyncratic, spanning 17th- and 18th-century Neapolitan paintings, northern European 15th- and 16th-century works, British portraiture, miniatures and folk art (with the largest collection of the latter in the U.K.), Chinese treasures, and the Marx-Lambert Collection of popular glass, ceramics and other objects. Compton 🐭Verney fell into disrepair in the 20th century, but was saved from ruin in the 1990s by the philanthropist Sir Peter Moores. Moores funded a major restoration, transforming the mansion into a public art gallery which officially opened in 2004. Its innovative temporary exhibition and residency program covers international contemporary art and artists. Outdoor sculpture became a major new ♕focus in 2024 to mark the museum’s 20th anniversary, with permanent works installed in the grounds by Louise Bourgeois, Larry Achiampong and Helen Chadwick among others.
