Blenheim Palace hosts its very first art exhibition in the Long Library - a previously unseen display of work by the renowned 20th century British artist, John Piper (1903-1992). The paintings focus on Piper's depictions of The Palace and the surrounding Oxfordshire environment. At 55 metres, The Long Library is one of the longest rooms in any British stately home and was designed by Vanbrugh as a picture gallery. The Willis Organ takes pride of place at the north end of the room surrounded by over 10,000 books. The exhibition is open to public 11th February - 9th April 2012. Photo credit : Stephen Simpson/LNP
