AT HOME: MY HOUSE, MY MUSEUM 2 | At home with the musician with Kenneth Park

All over the world, house museums preserve and present the story of a personality in the context of their own home. In opening the door of the homes of some most celebrated artists, writers, writers, and politicians we are offered an uniquely intimate insight into the private lives of people who have left their mark! 

In this lecture, we visit the homes of composers like Edvard Grieg, Pablo Casals, Giuseppe Verdi, Nellie Melba …
