Exhibition: Handel Reveal'd

8 April to 25 October 2009 (extended until 8 November 2009)

Handel Reveal'd investigates many aspects of Handel's life, including his finances, his love of food and his health, drawing on objects from the Museum's own collection and significant loans from national museums and private collections. This is the first exhibition about Handel's personal life to be held at Handel House Museum.

Handel House Museum at 25 Brook Street is at the heart of the Handel celebrations this year. This landmark address is where Handel lived for thirty-six years of his life and where he died on 14 April 1759.
