Kedleston (north-west of Derby) houses an impressive collection of paintings, sculptures and furnishings, some collected by the then Viceroy of India, George Nathaniel Curzon during his travels.

The Nepal Heritage Recovery Campaign is, in coordination with the Government of Nepal’s Department of Archaeology, organising the ‘International Conference on Recovery of Cultural Heritage’ in 16-18 June 2025.
