Rediscover the Lansdowne House Drawing Room

Discover Scottish architect Robert Adam’s 1760 design as it was intended in the newly reopened Lansdowne House drawing room. Curators Alisa Chiles and Tara Contractor walk through this impressive example of 18th c. neoclassical interior architecture, discussing its design, how it came to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the recent addition of a new carpet based on Adam’s design that completes his original vision for the room.
