We’re excited to be part of the brand-new series of Hidden Treasures of the National Trust, which returns to BBC Two and iPlayer in May 2025.
In the series, viewers can go behind the scenes and discover more about our work including the conservation of objects from Ham House’s collection.
Visit us to see some of the objects featured in this third series – the Dolphin chairs and a 17th-century painting of Ham House by Hendrick Danckerts.
