This exhibition brings back to Strawberry Hill some of the most important masterpieces in Horace Walpole’s famous and unique collection - one of the greatest in the 18th century. Dispersed in 1842 and scattered to the winds, over the past 3 years Strawberry Hill's Curators have been hunting down works using Walpole's detailed descriptions and the sales catalogue of 1842. For the first time in over 170 years, Strawberry Hill can be seen as Walpole conceived it, with the original collection in the interiors he designed for it. You can learn more about the exhibition in our new film below!
