After an introduction to Gainsborough at Gainsborough’s House, visitors enter two downstairs rooms, the Entrance Hall and the Parlour, which explore the achievements of the artist and his time in Suffolk. The Entrance Hall displays some of the highlights from the collection including Gainsborough’s Pitminster Boy, alongside a collection of Gainsborough’s belongings including his swordstick, paint scraper and his studio cabinet. The Parlour displays paintings and drawings alongside period furniture.
