| THE DEVONSHIRE INHERITANCE: Five Centuries of Collecting at Chatsworth |
 |
Guest Curator: Nicolas Barker
former Deputy Keeper of the British Library
Additional scholars involved.
Chatsworth, home of the Cavendish family as well as the Earls and then Dukes of Devonshire since the 16th century, contains one of the most important private art collections in England and the world's greatest private library. This exhibition focuses on the family's private collection of objects that are rarely exhibited -- precious cabinet paintings, old master drawings, masterpieces of the great gold-and-silversmiths, gems and jewelry, natural curiosities, scientific instruments, and important books and manuscripts -- assembled over nearly 500 years. Approximately 250 pieces illustrate the growth of the Chatsworth collection and successive generations' changing tastes as well as explore the way of life of those that have lived and entertained friends and the public in this great house.
