SUMMARY:Zoom | Alice de Rothschild's World at Waddesdon Manor
DESCRIPTION:Alice de Rothschild\, a member of the influential European banking dynasty\, was an art collector\, gardener\, and one of the most remarkable women of her era. Unconstrained by the social expectations placed upon women\, she forged her own path and after inheriting Waddesdon Manor from her brother\, Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild\, in 1898\, shaped its future for the next 24 years. Dr. Mia Jackson will explore Alice’s lasting influence on Waddesdon Manor\, revealing how she preserved and enriched the estate through her collections\, gardens\, and traditions of entertaining. In doing so\, Alice established standards of stewardship and care that would later help shape National Trust conservation practices\, securing Waddesdon’s legacy for future generations. \nDr. Mia Jackson is Senior Curator of Decorative Arts at Waddesdon Manor\, where she has worked since 2017. She has curated exhibitions on Alice de Rothschild and her collections; the Rothschild Aviaries; and Flights of Fancy: The Birds of Louis Denis Armand (2024). She studied at the University of Oxford and the Courtauld Institute of Art before completing her PhD at Queen Mary\, University of London. Previously\, she worked at the British Museum\, The Wallace Collection\, and English Heritage. \nZoom details will be shared in the email confirmation after ordering. \nTickets: $15 Members; $25 Non-members \n      \n\nOr call 212-480-2889 x200
