Editing Kedleston Hall (section)

===Other rooms===
The theme carries on through the music room, down the grand staircase (not completed until 1922) onto the ground floor and into the so-called "Caesar's hall". On the departure of guests, it must sometimes have been a relief to vacate this temple of culture and retreat to the relatively simple comforts of the family pavilion.

Below the Rotunda is the Tetrastyle Hall, which was converted into a museum in 1927 in collaboration with the [[Victoria and Albert Museum]] in London. The kitchen is an oblong shape with a balustraded gallery at one end. This links the room to other household offices on each side.

Also displayed in the house are many curiosities pertaining to [[George Nathaniel Curzon|George, Lord Curzon of Kedleston]], who succeeded to the house in 1916 and who had earlier served as [[Governor-General of India|Viceroy of India]] from 1899 to 1905. Lord Curzon had amassed a large collection of [[Indian subcontinent|subcontinental]] and [[Far East Asia|Far Eastern]] artefacts. Also shown is [[Lady Curzon's peacock dress|Lady Curzon's Delhi Durbar Coronation dress]] of 1903. Designed by [[House of Worth|Worth]] of Paris, it was known as the peacock dress for the many precious and semi-precious stones sewn into its fabric. These have now been replaced by imitation stones; however, the effect is no less dazzling.

In addition to that described above, the house contains collections of art, furniture and statuary, hence Kedleston Hall's alternative name, ''The Temple of the Arts''.
