Burghley is one of the largest and grandest houses of the first Elizabethan age, and has been home to the Cecil Family for over 400 years. A superb example of British heritage and an English mansion. A visit to this historic home transports you back through the centuries as you explore the quarter of a mile of staterooms, containing breathtaking painted ceilings by AntonioVerrio, including his Heaven Room and Hell Staircase, over 400 paintings, and a wonderful collection of Japanese porcelain.

The 2010 Treasury Exhibition will be 'Art in Miniature at Burghley' The exhibition will feature many of the important collection of miniatures together with a group of works of art in a miniature form. A particularly topical and exciting inclusion will be that of the ‘Buckingham China.’ These two miniature jars have recently been hailed as the earliest examples of true porcelain to be manufactured in the West. The exhibtion will run from 20^th March to 31^st October 2010.
