Lee Miller is one of the most fascinating figures of 20th century and now you can visit Farleys, her post-war Sussex home, now the centre of the Lee Miller Archives which cares for her photographs, papers and ephemera.

The exterior gives no hint of the visual excitements to be discovered within. Inside are brightly coloured walls, rambling corridors and rooms filled with artworks, all of which provides the visitor with a glimpse into the remarkable lives of its former occupants Lee Miller and Roland Penrose**.**

Pablo Picasso stayed in 1950, and visitors included Max Ernst, Joan Miró, Man Ray, Leonora Carrington, Eileen Agar, Kenneth Armitage, William Turnbull, John Craxton and Richard Hamilton. Works by many of these are displayed in the house, selections that regularly change as items are loaned to exhibitions in galleries around the world.

Farleys House remains alive and vibrant today as it documents Surrealism and modern art and in so doing informs our present day. Visits to Farleys House are by pre-booked guided tour only. Our visit includes coaching, House Tour, access to the Galleries and Sculpture Garden. Light refreshments are available to purchase in the Gallery.
