The Peacock Room is a wonderful case study in that respect – should be used to start of any talk about the conceptual underpinnings of the study of historic interiors :)

Of course, with The Peacock Room there are no wrenching decisions about changing wall color, as there are with other notable houses and rooms — just a matter of changing what is displayed :) And digital technology makes it easy for the public to experience all the chapters in the life of this room.

Thanks for picking up on the post.
