In 1937, two men bought a cottage and set up what would become a renowned art school, and nearly 90 years later, a themed recreation has been built in London. And at a new Garden Museum exhibition, you can step through the cottage’s wooden door… and into the kitchen. Elsewhere, Denis Wirth-Miller’s photographs offer intimate glimpses of the students and teachers relaxing together in the still-developing Benton End garden. What emerges is less the conventional history of an art school than a portrait of Benton End as a network of people and ideas. The exhibition, Benton End: A Paradise of Pollen and Paint, is at the Garden Museum until 20th September 2026.
