When you're as rich as a king and live on 2600 acres with 20 farms and 300 serfs, you have to amuse yourself. The furniture collection is a wow. A complete collection of mid 1800s woodworking tools, 18 arm and side chairs with complete descriptions of style, material, who, when, where, etc.
Same for textiles, porcelain, teapots, and the Campbell's Soup Co collection of soup tureens from around the world. This is just stuff in the galleries.
