Gainsborough's House, Sudbury
Birthplace Museum & Gallery of the 18th-Century Artist Thomas Gainsborough
Gainsborough's House explores the life and art of Thomas Gainsborough (1727–1788). One of the greatest artists of his age, renowned throughout the world for his portrait and landscape paintings. The restored and refurbished Historic House and new Galleries creating the New National Centre for Gainsborough opened to the public November 2022.
In 2019, the House commenced a transformational refurbishment with £10m invested into the site. For the first time in its history, the House closed its doors for 3 years to welcome this upgrade. The vision was to build upon the rich history of Gainsborough’s House while also making the museum experience more accessible, and exciting for our visitors and, to truly celebrate Gainsborough along with his followers and contemporaries. The museum aims to bring light to other Suffolk-based artists like John Constable and Cedric Morris whom greatly admired the works of Thomas Gainsborough.
The beautiful garden is at the heart of Gainsborough’s House. It is maintained by a devoted body of volunteers who exclusively cultivate plants that were available in Gainsborough’s lifetime; including a Mulberry Tree which is over 400 years old.
