Visiting Mottisfont with your group
Mottisfont became the centre of a creative circle in the early 20th century thanks to last owner Maud Russell. We continue those traditions today with a permanent display of 20th-century art and changing exhibitions in a spacious art gallery. We also support artists in residence to create site-specific installations here.
An 18th-century building with a medieval priory at its heart, the house was transformed into a comfortable, neo-classical home in the 1930s. Highlights include an extraordinary room painted with murals by Rex Whistler and a permanent display of 20th century art. Look out for hints of medieval history, including a vaulted Cellarium.
