Open Cabinet Week
Join us at Osterley to take a glimpse inside some of the house's hidden spaces…
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
In order to protect our collection from light damage and wear and tear, we limit how often we open items such as cabinets and drawers. However, we still need to see inside regularly to monitor the condition and to check for mould growth or pest damage.
Take this rare opportunity to peek into some of Osterley’s incredible cabinets and hidden spaces.
