About

This self-guided Queer Connections tour at Osterley House highlights often-hidden queer narratives within the house and its collections. Pick up a free Queer Connections leaflet from reception to follow a route through the rooms, with the Byres Family Portrait by Franciszek Smuglewicz featured in the Yellow Breakfast Room. The tour stems from Osterley's role as a case study for the Queer Your Historic House toolkit by Indigo Dunphy-Smith and the Queer Heritage and Collections Network, and links to a new article reimagining James Byres and Christopher Norton. Normal admission applies.
