Bath’s Holburne museum to unveil ‘art chamber’ of Renaissance masterpieces

Based on a Renaissance kunstkammer, museum's basement to house a collection of exquisite silverware, paintings, bronzes and ceramics

Beneath the Georgian city of Bath, a gleaming treasury of Renaissance masterpieces created for kings, queens, church leaders and scientists is about to be unveiled.

Based on the idea of the Renaissance kunstkammer - an art chamber - the basement room at the Holburne Museum is crammed with scores of exquisite pieces of silverware, paintings, bronzes and ceramics.
