After the Covid-19 crisis is finally over, will many of us realise that the
real luxuries in life are ways to maintain good health, to have love and compassion for fellow humans? And will all material
luxuries that we own, used to own or yearn to possess become just collections put on display in museums and
galleries?

Content Editor Lucia Carpio visited The Wallace Collection, London in June 2019.
The Wallace Collection in London is housed at Hertford House
in Manchester Square, a stone’s throw from Oxford Street and a few steps from Selfridges. In this townhouse, a former home of the Seymour family, Marquesses of Hertford (was open to public until
the lockdown), in its 30 galleries was an extensive collection of
fine and decorative arts from the 15th to the 19th centuries,
including a prized collection of French 18th century paintings, and
ornate furniture of the time, arms and armour, porcelain and Old Master paintings.
