Home

Walk through five centuries of homes both great and small--from the smoke-filled manor halls of the Middle Ages to today's Ralph Lauren-designed environments--on a house tour like no other one that delightfully explicates the very idea of home.<p>You'll see how social and cultural changes influenced styles of decoration and furnishing learn the connection between wall-hung religious tapestries and wall-to-wall carpeting discover how some of our most welcome luxuries were born of architectural necessity and much more. Most of all <b>Home</b> opens a rare window into our private lives--and how we <i>really</i> want to live.</p>
