Yet he also accrued such debt that after his death his art was sold to Catherine the Great, and sent to the Hermitage. Now this priceless collection returns to Houghton in a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition! This year is the 250th anniversary of Catherine\u2019s accession. The Houghton exhibition, a triumph of international partnership, thus celebrates two extraordinary personalities: Walpole and the Empress. Above all it offers a glorious, unmissable opportunity to see a great collection returned to the setting created for it almost three centuries ago.<\/p>\n Read more here: http:\/\/www.houghtonrevisited.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n ARRIVAL TIME:<\/strong> 13:00 (You may choose to arrive earlier and enjoy a scenic walk in the park and in the woods.)<\/p>\n START OF THE TOUR:<\/strong> 13:30<\/p>\n PICNIC<\/strong> in a glorious setting: 15:00<\/p>\n TRANSPORT:<\/strong> It is suggested that we take our own cars, but CamRuSS will encourage sharing and assist in helping to match the drivers and passengers, to make it fun and efficient!
