Nineteenth-century rooms
Reception, dining room and private rooms show furniture and decoration as a whole. Look at material and use and ask which furnishings are original, reconstructed or acquired later.
The garden behind the façade
The formal French-style garden creates order within a dense city block. Compare the sightline and symmetry outside with the layout of the rooms and the windows at the back.
Contemporary work in a historic house
Exhibitions every six months add new voices to the legacy. Read why an artist is presenting here in particular and avoid seeing temporary art as a historic piece of the interior.
