'A hidden treasure in Compton in Surrey, stuffed with huge allegorical paintings and sparkling portraits that were the talk of Victorian society' — Maev Kennedy, The Guardian
First opening its doors to the public in 1904, Watts Gallery is a purpose-built art gallery created to display the works of the great Victorian artist G F Watts. Watts holds a unique position within British art, as he found critical acclaim in his own time and was admired by his fellow artists, both at home and abroad, and was popularly adored, allowing him the public platform to explore his idea of a poet-painter who could preach eternal truths and provoke social reform.
Unfortunately I couldn't take any photo inside and I respect that. I spent very nice time there
