@spencerhouselondon: In our behind the scenes look into the excellent teams that make Spencer House so unique, we join Vicky, our savvy collections manager, who takes us through her day-to-day activities while on duty in our demi palace. In her own words… “My job is to care for the historic interiors and the artworks and objects we have on display. It’s a varied job and very different from working in a museum because we are a busy events venue, as well as a visitor attraction. So, a huge part of the job involves the physical care of the house and collection - that’s everything from day to day cleaning to the conservation of individual objects right up to large-scale redecoration and maintenance projects involving entire rooms. I bring in a wide range of specialist contractors to carry out this work and August is my busiest time when the house closes for events and tours, and I have just four weeks to get all those big, disruptive jobs done. Year round I have to keep on top of wear and tear and do regular condition checks of all the objects to spot any changes or issues before they become serious.” #hiddengems #london #conservation #cleaninghacks #museums
