A matter of taste
Sydney Rare Book Week
Explore 250 years of discussion about ‘good’ and ‘bad’ taste in the home in this tour of rare book treasures.
Most of us know what we like when it comes to design in the home, but how do we develop a particular taste? Why do people’s tastes change over time? Discover 250 years of discussion about ‘good’ and bad ‘taste’ in the home and some of the individuals and technologies that have influenced what people like. You will see fascinating rare books and objects as we explore home design and the influences still impacting us today.
