00:00When I became a trustee a few years ago, one of our dreams was that we would

00:09create a museum that could bring in loans that would put Petersfield on the

00:17map. It will bring people in to Petersfield. The exhibition has been

00:22inspired by the five years that she lived just outside Petersfield, between

00:28Petersfield and South Harting in Hearst, and it was here that she began her life,

00:35dedicating her life to collecting art, supporting artists and opening galleries

00:40and museums. So that's why it's called Petersfield to Palazzo, because her

00:44collection, her world-renowned collection of contemporary avant-garde modern art

00:49can now be seen at her former home, which was a Palazzo in Venice.
