The Brotherton Library is a 1936 Grade II listed Beaux-Arts building with some art deco fittings, located on the main campus of the University of Leeds. It was designed by the firm of Lanchester & Lodge, and is named after Edward Brotherton, 1st Baron Brotherton, who in 1927 donated £100,000 to the university as funding for its first purpose-built library.
The Brotherton Library is a hub in what has become Leeds University Library. Initially, it contained all of the university's books and manuscripts, with the exception of books housed in the separate Medical Library and Clothworkers' Library. Its contents cover the main collections in arts and languages and the Special Collections' Research Centre. It also houses part of the University Library's administration. Science, engineering and social science research collections are located in the Edward Boyle Library, opened in 1975. The Laidlaw Library opened in 2015 contains core texts for undergraduates and a high demand collection.

O Museu Nacional de Arte , localizado em Copenhague, é um dos principais museus da Dinamarca. Possui mais de 250 mil peças distribuídas entre pinturas, obras em papel e estatuária, compondo um amplo panorama da arte ocidental desde o Renascimento até a contemporaneidade, com algumas obras ainda mais antigas. Recentemente o Museu foi fundido com a Biblioteca Nacional de Arte.
Seu prédio original foi construído entre 1889 e 1896, com projeto de Wilhelm Dahlerup e G.E.W. Møller, seguindo modelos da Renascença italiana em uma interpretação eclética. Sofrendo com a falta de espaço expositivo desde sua fundação, nos anos 60 a coleção de cópias de esculturas foi transferida para um prédio especial próximo ao Palácio Real de Amalienborg. Na década de 1970 a área disponível foi aumentada com a cobetura do pátio interno. Em 1998 foi acrescentada uma nova ala no jardim atrás do museu, com projeto de Maria Indrio e Mads Møller numa arquitetura contemporânea, com uma galeria envidraçada de comunicação com a sede antiga, chamada de "avenida das esculturas".

Kedleston Hall é um palácio rural inglês situado no Derbyshire, aproximadamente quatro milhas a Noroeste de Derby. É a casa histórica da família Curzon. Actualmente é propriedade do National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty .
A família Curzon possuiu a propriedade de Kedleston desde, pelo menos, 1297 e viveu numa sucessão de mansões e palácios próximo ou no próprio local do presente Kedleston Hall. O edifício actual foi encomendado por Sir Nathaniel Curzon em 1759. O palácio foi desenhado pelos arquitectos James Paine e Matthew Brettingham ao estilo Palladiano e foi livremente baseado numa planta original de Andrea Palladio para a nunca construída Villa Mocenigo. Nesta época Robert Adam, um relativamente pouco conhecido arquitecto, desenhava alguns templos de jardim para realçar a paisagem do parque; Curzon ficou tão impressionado com o desenho de Adam que rapidamente o encarregou da construção do novo palácio.
