23 Brook Street
The museum also incorporates the upper floors of its neighbour, 23 Brook Street, which, in striking musical contrast, was the home of rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix in 1968–9. These rooms are used for temporary exhibitions and events. Both houses have Blue Plaques for their respective occupants.
