“The
Best Seat in the House:
A
Selection of Interesting
Chairs from the Collection”
Admission to the exhibit
is free. Cafe open 12 to
3pm.
The chairs on display in the Great Hall exhibit a range of styles, time periods, materials. Each chair was chosen because it displays a unique feature such as the chair that converts to a set of library stairs. Some look surprisingly contemporary.
Many more chairs including a number of chairs owned by Christopher and Rebecca Gore are exhibited in room settings as they might have been originally in 1816 and may be seen as part of the mansion tour .
