About
This new exhibition tells the story of Standen as one of the first country houses to be designed with electricity. See the exhibition in the Servants Hall, when the house is open.
At the time Standen was built, this technology was innovative and new, yet it was also seen as dangerous and potentially harmful. This exhibition explores the social context of electricity and its use in the Victorian period through cartoons and illustrations from Punch magazine alongside examples of some of Standen's collection of light fittings by Arts and Crafts designer W. A. S. Benson.
