People and Partners

Handel House is an independent museum with charity status and we work closely with other galleries, museums and private collectors to help tell our story of Handel through a collection of Georgian paintings and furniture. We would like to thank English Heritage, The Gerald Coke Collection, the National Portrait Gallery, the Royal Collection, Tate Britain and the V&A for their long loans. There are many other public and private lenders who make temporary loans for regularly changing exhibitions. We are also extremely grateful to all the individuals, trusts and foundations who help fund the museum, this is particularly important as Handel House is does not currently receive any public subsidy. Other vital partners with whom we collaborate regularly are the RNIB, the London Handel Festival, the British Harpsichord Society and the Foundling Museum.
