We are often asked if we know of any marquetry exhibitions or attractions that
people can visit while on holiday
.
So, we thought it's time to start a new directory that we hope will grow into a valuable
reference source for those wishing to visit magnificent houses, museums,
and various locations that feature marquetry as a major theme.
We start this directory off with a selection of those wonderful marquetry themed locations
as recommended by some well travelled members of the Marquetry Society
.
