Britain's What's On Event Guide
Waddesdon Manor - Riches of the Earth
Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild's 'Renaissance Museum' was full of objects made of precious materials: hardstones, minerals, silver and gold. While the bulk of this collection was bequeathed to the British Museum on his death in 1898, examples of these extraordinary objects are still to be found at Waddesdon, in collections inherited from other members of the Rothschild family, and in the fabric of the building itself. This exhibition explores some of these works of art. Booking
