Why it's Wildland
7.5Behind the adjoining Brook Street façades are two musicians’ London homes, separated by more than two centuries: Handel lived at No. 25, while Hendrix made his home at No. 23.
An unusually tangible meeting of musical histories: rather than viewing objects in a conventional gallery, visitors can explore the homes associated with Handel and Hendrix on the same Mayfair street. Its appeal is specific and memorable, though this is a compact city museum rather than a wild landscape.

Verified history
The supplied venue description presents the house as the former London homes of Handel and Hendrix, separated by a wall and 200 years. A supplied history article says Handel moved into 25 Brook Street in 1723 and lived there until 1759; it also reports that Hendrix’s flat at No. 23 was acquired by the museum in 2016. The visitor sources describe the two restored homes as the museum’s central experience.
Hidden details
