Coming this Week at "Stalking the Belle Époque"

Mary of Teck isn’t the only person who can find beautiful things and bring them home. This week, we’ll all have a chance to see some of the most beautiful objects, paintings, sculpture and jewelry from museums and collections around the world. We’ll continue our look into the amazing Royal Collection as we explore some of the gifts given to the Royal Family from foreign dignitaries over the centuries.

We’ll also visit William Randolph Heart’s breathtaking California Castle—the inspiration for Citizen Kane’s Zanadu. We’ll take a look at the ongoing career of an unlikely Hollywood legend and celebrate the contributions of one of the entertainment industry’s hardest working actresses.

All this plus the usual visits by Mr. Punch, some Bertie dog pictures and some truly unusual objects are in store for the upcoming week at Stalking the Belle Époque.
