Beyond Paper and Stone at Carlyle House

A behind the scenes look at objects in the collection

At Beyond Paper and Stone, staff of the Carlyle House would like to share our love
of the collections with guests. Various objects will be pulled from our
collections to be displayed and discussed. We will be explaining collections
care and maintenance, preservation that has taken place on objects, and how the
care of these objects impacts the story told.

We will have four stations within
the house for visitors to examine at their own pace. Each station will display objects
in varying mediums to allow a more in-depth look at what goes on behind the
scenes at Carlyle House. Get up close and personal with objects that are rarely
on display in the house.

The program is $15 a person and
will take place on August 18 from 10am-12pm.
