The Devonshire Collection

The Sculpture Gallery at Chatsworth

From Elizabethan needlework to Enlightenment scientific instruments, Old Master drawings to 21st century sculpture, the Devonshire Collection is a record of one family's eclectic tastes and interests over 16 generations. 

It is cared for by the Trustees of the Chatsworth Settlement, and the current Duke and Duchess continue to add to the collection.  As many treasures as possible are displayed in the house.  Some objects would be damaged by permanent exposure to light and are brought out for special displays.  Others are loaned to local, national and international exhibitions
