Handel Museum

Handel Museum

The Handel Museum is situated at 25 Brook Street, near Oxford Circus tube station, and was opened to the public following its refurbishment in 2001. George Frideric Handel was Britain’s greatest German composer. He was born in Germany, established himself in Britain, and became a British citizen in 1727, which is why he is now referred to as a German-British composer.

Handel’s House is the residence where this Baroque composer lived from 1723 to 1759, and where some of his most famous works were created, such as the oratorios *Messiah*, *Israel in Egypt*, *Coronation Anthems*, and most of his organ concertos. As one of London’s dedicated museums, Handel House Museum has been carefully restored to commemorate Handel’s life and works, as well as those of his contemporaries. The museum’s exquisitely decorated interiors offer visitors a glimpse into the life of this influential composer during his prime, featuring his living room, workroom, and original scores. In addition, nearby is the former residence of another musical genius, Jimi Hendrix, who lived there in the late 1960s. Visitors to this area shouldn’t miss these two historic London sites that bring the legacies of musical greats vividly to life.
