Dimbola Museum and Galleries is housed within the former home of Julia Margaret Cameron, the noted Victorian portrait photographer. Dimbola is not only where Cameron began and carried out most of her acclaimed work, but was also a centre of Victorian culture. Today Dimbola hosts the largest permanent exhibition in the UK of Cameron's work, as well as a changing programme of photography and art exhibitions.
