About
Greiti faktai: Photography lovers can explore one of the largest public collections of cameras and photographic prints, wandering aisles of glass-plate negatives, daguerreotypes, and color slides. Guided tours peel back layers of social history through rooms filled with ornate woodwork, period furnishings, and original images that capture everyday life in sharp, faded detail.
Svarbiausi dalykai: Peek into a preserved darkroom where the air carries a faint coppery scent of fixer and warm lamps reveal the ghostly shimmer of developing prints. A century-old theater screens 35mm prints that click and hiss beneath a narrow beam of light, the drifting dust motes and analogue sound making projections feel startlingly immediate.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the mansion has many rooms and period stairs to climb.
- Flash photography is restricted in several galleries, so bring a camera with good low-light performance and confirm photo rules at the front desk.
- Join a guided house tour for access to upstairs rooms and detailed history you won’t get on your own.
- Head to the gardens after galleries for relaxed photos, and arrive early on special exhibition opening days to avoid lines.
