Get the kettle’s on
Holly Black | The World of Interiors | 29th March 2026
In an era when public museums are becoming huge, Kettle’s Yard is the “anti-museum”. Created by a former curator and comprising four amalgamated cottages, the founding vision was to create a space with “a lived-in beauty”. Small in scale, it makes use of natural light and does not use wall labels. Its art, mostly modernist, is shown in a domestic setting, “alongside fastidiously placed ceramics, wildflowers, feathers and pebbles.” One smitten writer calls it “one of the great oases of culture”.
