George Harrisons old house. Or one of his houses. He had a 120 room castle just outside London with 60 acress garden. He had a house in Hawaii with a garden of 63 acres. He had a castle in Switzerland. He had a Luxury house in Australia. He had a Luxury department in the center of London and several houses in the Los Angeles district through out the years. First he lived in North Carrolwood Drive 245, but sold it to Burt Reynolds, and Then George moved to North Carrolwood Drive 265, Where he lived for 8 years. The house looks exactly the same now as When George Harrison lived there. He kept jis 50 to 60 ultra luxury cars in his 120 room castle just outsider of London though.
Mind-blowing collection of modern and contemporary art in a family home. Well informed docent and small group tour. Rothko over the sofa; need I say more?
Wonderful experience touring the home, gardens and spectacular art collection of Frederick Weisman. Our docent was very knowledgeable and helped us experience how the Weismans curated and displayed their collection. This is a one of a kind experience and not to be missed by modern art lovers.
What can I say, this was just an incredible experience. There are some pieces in here that were just amazing to be within the presence of. Thr house is supposed to be "just as it was left by Weisman", and it really does look like it was lived in. Great care and deliberation have been taken in the decoration, placement, and thoughtfulness in the design and layout of this house, but also in it's preservation. If you have an opportunity to schedule a tour here, please do yourself a favor and take it.
The docent was friendly, knowledgeable, and seemed excited to be there, which made the tour a very pleasurable time, albeit moving a little quickly. I know they have other tours scheduled, sometimes back-to-back, but I really wish I would've had a _little_ more time to linger in some of the areas, as there's just so much to see (you could honestly spend an hour just appreciating each room, nonetheless the entire property).
No photos allowed inside, but you can take them outdoor. Also, you park inside the property on the driveway, not on the street.
While it is necessary to book your tour well in advance, the tour is well worth it if you have any interest in modern art. The Weismans collected art with flair, and it is a pleasure to view the many works of art on display at their former home in Beverly Hills. Don’t miss the vintage cars in the garage at the end of the tour, and buying the compilation book of the collection is highly recommended. The tour is about 1 3/4 hours long and requires a lot of walking in and out of tight spots and stair climbing—not an option for those with any sort of mobility issues!
