A la Ronde is currently under scaffold as part of a major restoration project. The physical restoration work being undertaken by the National Trust provides an opportunity for new research into how we think about A la Ronde and the people who made and lived in it.
The first-floor shell gallery is one of the critical areas for restoration. The fragile nature of this unique interior requires new, innovative ideas on how it can be interpreted and presented to visitors.
