Level One Trip to Temple Newsam

Level One Country House & Museum Studies students again braved the cold to visit Temple Newsam last Thursday, thank you to all who attended. I look forward to reading the essays of those who choose to compare and contrast the presentation of this house with a National Trust or English Heritage property, it should result in some really interesting work.

Students making their way to visit the cute farm animals considering the repurposed estate buildings in context!

Temple Newsam House Conservation Workshops

Hello All,
It's the Undergrads turn!.........Me and the BAs popped along to Temple Newsam House, in Leeds, for a Conservation workshop, with Jenny Hack (the paintings conservator...thanks Jenny!).....these are always interesting sessions I think....and help us to appreciate the
complex relationships between interpretation of historical objects and the conservation/preservation of them.......

The students, some of them shown here posing (under sufference) on a v.cold morning (well done for getting there at 9.15am).....were very enthusiastic...(at least they appeared to be?)...
and have some presentations to do for next week based on their experiences, when they get back to the University.....

.............We'll be visiting TN again in a few weeks...
