The artworks inside justified the visit itself. Mayor paintings and sculptures by some of the best European artists.

This is first and foremost an art gallery with displays of some very fine paintings by artists like Ruben's, Velasquez and Titian. The House is a celebration of the Duke of Wellington and a lifetime of fame following his defeat of Napolean at Waterloo. I had just come from Kensington Palace where there is no restriction on photography so was a bit disappointed that no photographs are allowed inside. I think this is to boost sales of their illustrated guide book. Very good free multimedia guide provided without headset. I like the way it had 3 different levels of tours, a general one, children's tour and art lovers tour. I recommend the last one if you want to learn more about the beautiful paintings, many brought over from Spain. There is also a fine porcelain collection mostly made up of ornate plates in the last room, given in gratitude by foreign states for Wellington's success at Waterloo.
As usual I went to visit with my 10 year old sister. Me- I really enjoyed looking at the pictures and gifts that were given to Wellington. We were offered free audio to learn more. It is a one time trip as I wouldn't go again but I'm happy i went. Sis-it was interesting but the plates back then were too small, they should have had bigger plates. The rooms were so big, I could of lived in just one room. Hope this helps
Interesting and covid aware. Knowledgeable guides but no chairs to rest on sadly. A lot of older or disabled people would probably like this place.
Very interesting. Found out new information. Staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful
