Leighton House Museum, 12 Holland Park Road, W14

Brazil, Leighton HouseThe former home and studio of painter Frederick, Lord Leighton, is full of pre-Raphaelite delights and is infused with his fascination with the Middle East. The gilt and blue tiled Arab Hall, camped up with a few copies of Michelangelo's David in the alcoves, became the clinic where Mrs Lowry (Katherine Helmond) undergoes subtle facial enhancement in Terry Gilliam's Brazil.
