A Grand Tour at Chatsworth
March 6 2016
Picture: Chatsworth/"A Grand Tour"
There's a new exhibition at Chatsworth opening soon, which features many works usually not on the usual visitor route. The show focuses on the Grand Tour, and opens on 19th March-23rd October. More here on the Chatsworth website.
Update:
Other museums in the area are involved in a series of related exhibitions called "The Grand Tour". There's a not entirely satisfactory website, published by Experience Nottinghamshire, to tell you more here. The main feature on the site is a slow and clunky video that's generated just 317 views in eight months. I don't like to be too critical of regional museum efforts, but when you see logos on the site from major funding bodies such as Visit England and the Arts Council you have to wonder how and why the site could be allowed to be so bad. There is no excuse for a primary contact point for potential visitors to be a) so bad, and b) out of date.
