25 Brook Street was home to the great baroque composer George
Frideric Handel from 1723 until his death in 1759. The only
composer museum in London, this landmark address is where Handel
composed some of the greatest music in history, including Messiah,
Zadok the Priest and Music for the Royal Fireworks.
The Museum celebrates Handel's life and works, displaying
portraits of Handel and his contemporaries in finely restored
Georgian interiors and by bringing live music back to his house.
Frequent music rehearsals, weekly concerts and special musical
events in addition to regular exhibitions bring Handel's world to
life.
