About us

The Museum is a memorial to Holst, one of England's most respected composers, best known for his work The Planets.

The house was built in 1832 and is typical of the many smaller Regency terraced houses built in Cheltenham at that time. Gustav Holst was born here on 21st September 1874 and lived here until 1882, shortly after his mother died.

Visitors will learn more of Holst's life, his music, his family and friendships, whilst being reminded of domestic life at the end of the 19th Century.
