Discover the fascinating history of Watts Gallery: the first purpose built gallery dedicated to the work of one artist.
Watts Gallery - Artists' Village
'I had no idea that here in Surrey, there was a collection of such richness and a story of such depth. That one man with his devoted wife could leave so much — which makes Compton a unique artists' village and Watts one of the most important artists and philanthropists of the 19th century.' Penelope Keith CBE DL
