Blenheim Palace has done Vanbrugh proud with an interactive exhibition of all aspects of his life, but particularly the problems with the construction of Blenheim and information about the building technologies and craftsmen involved.

It is maybe oddly helped by the fact that the roof of Blenheim is being reconstructed:-

In the entrance hall, you get to meet Vanbrugh:-

Then, you are able to tour through the private apartments.  And there are brilliant animatronics based on the vitriolic letters between Vanbrugh and the Duchess of Marlborough. 

There’s a lot to take in !
