Kedleston Hall is an extravagant temple to the arts. Commissioned in the 1750s by Nathaniel Curzon whose ancestors had resided at Kedleston since the 12th century. The house is framed by historic parkland and boasts opulent interiors intended to impress.
Designed for lavish entertaining, Kedleston Hall displays an extensive collection of paintings, sculpture and original furnishings, reflecting both the tastes of its creators and their fascination with the classical world of the Roman Empire.
Inherited by George Nathaniel Curzon, Viceroy of India between 1899 and 1905, the hall also houses the many objects he amassed during his travels in South Asia and the Middle East, and in his role leading British rule in India.
Geraldine Escobar has always had a passion for land and plants. For her research, she focused on evaluating variables that affect seed germination and growth. “When I finish my thesis, I will provide refreshed seed to the Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Agropecuarias and leave a legacy at the Universidad Técnica del Norte. I want to show others that dreams are achievable,” said Escobar. (Photo: LM Salazar/Crop Trust)

All the butterflies at the Butterfly Farm are so tame! This little beauty stayed on my hand for a good 3 mins whilst I slowly walked around the huge green house.

Artwork by Félix González-Torres. The most pervasive reading of Gonzalez-Torres's work takes the processes his works undergo (lightbulbs expiring, piles of candies dispersing, etc.) as metaphor for the process of dying. One of his most recognizable works, Untitled(1992) is a billboard put up in New York City of a monochrome photograph of an unoccupied bed, made after the death of his lover, Ross, to AIDS.
