Lotherton Hall is a country house near Aberford, West Yorkshire, England. It lies a short distance from the A1 motorway, 200 miles equidistant between London and Edinburgh. It is one of nine sites in the Leeds Museums & Galleries group. There has been a manor house on the site of the current Hall from at least 1775, where it appears on Thomas Jeffery's map of Yorkshire. The house at this time was owned by Thomas Maude, who had brought it from George Rhodes in 1753 for £4,115. Ownership then passed to Wollen and then to John Raper. In 1824 John Raper died and his son and heir, John Lamplugh Raper, sold the property to Richard Oliver Gascoigne in 1825. Following Richard Oliver Gascoigne's death in 1842, Lotherton was inherited by his then unmarried daughters, Elizabeth and Mary Isabella. Richard Trench Gascoigne took up ownership of the house following the death of his aunt Elizabeth, wife of Lord Ashtown, in 1893. It became the main residence of the Gascoigne family after the death of Richard's father Frederick at Parlington Hall in 1905. Between 1914 and 1918, the Hall was used as a V.A.D. hospital. There is a twelfth century Norman chapel in the grounds which was in use until 1830 and renovated between 1913 and 1917 and was also used as part of the V.A.D. hospital.The Hall is sited on part of the Gascoigne estate, and was presented to the City of Leeds in 1968 by Sir Alvary Gascoigne and his wife, last of the Gascoigne family, whose roots were at Parlington Hall. The Hall and parkland were opened for public access by its new owners on 6 August 1969, exactly 25 years after Sir Alvary Gascoigne's only son and heir, Douglas Gascoigne, was killed in a tank battle in Normandy. The estate is home to an extensive collection of endangered bird species and a herd of red deer. There is a large expanse of grassland in front of the bird garden, typically used during the summer months for ball games and picnics. A further field is often used to host shows, such as an annual motorcycle show. The Hall, which was extensively rebuilt during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, holds an impressive art collection. This includes the Gascoigne Gift, given to the City of Leeds along with the Hall, which sits alongside Designated collections of fine art and decorative arts added to Hall since becoming a museum in 1968.The Hall is licensed to hold wedding and civil partnership ceremonies

Академия Каррара — галерея искусств и академия искусств в городе Бергамо в Италии. Основание галереи приписывается графу Джакомо Каррара, меценату и коллекционеру, который оставил городу Бергамо в конце 18-го века щедрое наследство. После смерти графа в 1796 году его собственностью управляли назначаемые комиссары — вплоть до 1958 г., когда коммуна города Бергамо переняла управление. В 1810 году было построено новое здание в стиле классицизма, по проекту архитектора Симона Элиа, ученика Леопольда Полака. Коллекция графа Джакомо Каррара, которая насчитывала почти полторы тысячи работ, частично распродавалась, но продолжала интенсивно дополняться, в основном за счет дарителей: в 1866 году работы, поступившие от графа Гульельмо Локиса по завещанию, в конце XIX века — от сенатора Джованни Морелли, и в 1998 году от искусствоведа Федерико Дзери. Также Галерея приняла в своё собрание более двухсот других пожертвований. Сейчас коллекция насчитывает 1800 полотен среди которых работы таких мастеров, как Джорджо Скьявоне, Пизанелло, Боттичелли, Беллини, Мантенья, Рафаэль Санти, Морони, Баскенис, Галгарио, Тьеполо, Каналетто и Карновалли . Кроме живописи в галерее присутствуют рисунки и гравюры, бронза, скульптуры и фарфор, мебель и коллекции медалей. В 1793 г. в момент первого публичного открытия галереи граф Каррара пожелал чтобы при галерее учредили курсы рисунка и живописи. Школа, которая находилась до 1912 г. в том же здании, что и галерея, теперь располагается в отдельном здании по соседству. В 1988 г. она была преобразована в официально-признанную Accademia di Belle Arti . В 1991 г. к ней была добавлена галерея современного искусства Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea , расположенная в здании напротив неоклассического здания самой галереи, в реставрированном здании бывшего монастыря. В настоящий момент галерея имеет 10 выставочных залов, расположенных на трёх этажах. С июня 1999 г., после приобретения Raccolta Gianfranco e Luigia Spajani, постоянная коллекция содержит также работы современного искусства итальянских и иностранных мастеров 20-го века, таких как Боччони, Балла, Моранди, Кампильи, Казорати, Савиньо, Де Кирико, Кандинский, Сазерланд и Манцу. С 2008 года Академия Каррара переживает масштабную реконструкцию. Вновь открытая 23 апреля 2015 года после необходимых реставрационных работ Галерея, сегодня представляет из себя современный музей, оснащенный всеми необходимыми услугами для публики. Начиная с 2016 года, управление музеем возлагается на Фонд Академии Каррара.
Thirlestane Castle is a castle set in extensive parklands near Lauder in the Borders of Scotland. The site is aptly named Castle Hill, as it stands upon raised ground. However, the raised land is within Lauderdale, the valley of the Leader Water. The land has been in the ownership of the Maitland family since 1587, and Thirlestane served as the seat of the Earls of Lauderdale. The castle was substantially extended in the 1670s by the first and only Duke of Lauderdale. Further additions were made in the 19th century. The castle is now cared for by a charitable trust, and is open to the public.
Городской музей Коррера — художественный музей в Венеции, который освещает различные аспекты традиционной венецианской жизни, особенно последнего периода существования Венецианской республики. Музей занимает наполеоновское крыло Прокураций на площади Сан-Марко, напротив собора св. Марка. Он возник в 1830 году благодаря венецианцу Теодоро Корреру , который завещал городу свою ценнейшую коллекцию живописи и старинных предметов декоративно-прикладного искусства. Флигель Наполеона соединяет Старую и Новую прокурации, но не слишком хорошо вписывается в общий ансамбль. До 1807 года на этом месте стояла церковь, которую снесли, чтобы увенчать резиденцию Наполеона внушительным порталом . В настоящее время собрание музея состоит из трёх разных коллекций. Исторические виды Венеции, документы, ведуты, выполненные школой Каналетто, представленные в экспозиции Фонда Теодоро Коррера, повествуют о различных этапах истории города. В эту коллекцию музея также входят библиотека из бывшего монастыря театинцев, парадная одежда, монеты и печати, а также историческое оружие. Вторая часть музейных фондов представляет собой картинную галерею. В неё входит целый ряд жанровых произведений венецианской школы, как, например, сцены венецианского маскарада кисти Пьетро Лонги и картина Карпаччо «Две венецианки», которую в XIX в. ошибочно принимали за изображение двух куртизанок. Третьей коллекцией Музея Коррер является входящий в её состав Музей Рисорджименто , где вниманию посетителей представлены свидетельства истории Венеции в период от падения республики до объединения Италии в XIX в. в форме исторических картин, костюмов, документов и гравюр.
