Alec Cobbe will give a tour of the Cabinet of Curiosities (not the instruments). The Cobbe family museum, now at Hatchlands but originally from Newbridge House, Co. Dublin, is a rare 18th century cabinet of curiosities that survives in its original display furniture. Among the approximately sixteen hundred objects are naturalia, exotica, fossils, rocks and minerals, shells, insects and butterflies.

Due to limited space this tour will be limited to 20 places.

Coffee and biscuits on arrival, in the Dining Room, are included in the ticket price.
