A Space I Love S3 – The Oak Room at Hampton Court Palace
Wednesday, 11 September, 2024
In this four part mini-series, we’re back exploring a selection of treasured spaces in our palaces with the people who know them best, our curators. Each space has been personally chosen by our resident experts, revealing how immersing ourselves in a place can connect us to the past, and make us reflect on the present. In this first episode we’ll follow Assistant Curator Minette Butler into a deceptively domestic space at Hampton Court Palace. The Oak Room tells the story of the palace after the Royals left, and serves as a charming symbol of the small Grace and Favour community who inherited it.
