Compton Verney
About This Museum
Tucked away in the verdant Warwickshire countryside, Compton Verney is a destination that feels both grand and surprisingly intimate. You approach it down a long drive, the Capability Brown landscape unfolding around you like a living painting before the elegant Georgian mansion comes into view. Inside, the experience is wonderfully eclectic; you might find yourself moving from the raw energy of Neapolitan masterpieces to the quiet charm of British folk art, all within rooms that still whisper of their stately home past. It’s a place where the art and the environment are in constant, beautiful conversation.
Collection Highlights
The gallery is renowned for its world-class collection of Neapolitan art from 1600-1800, featuring dramatic and often darkly theatrical works. This sits alongside an utterly unique and charming collection of British Folk Art, where beautifully crafted trade signs and quirky objects tell a different story of the nation's creativity.
Visitor Information
It's easy to spend a whole day here, so plan accordingly. Don't forget to save time for a long walk through the 120-acre grounds—the lake and chapel are absolute must-sees. You'll find it just off the B4086 between Kineton and Wellesbourne.
Architecture & Building
A quintessential Georgian stately home, all symmetrical red brick and serene classical proportions, which has been sensitively adapted into a modern gallery space.
