Hirst loved collecting art throughout his life. Furniture, tapestries, paintings, sculptures, fireplaces, ceilings, staircases, and even entire rooms were his collection objects. Most of his collections are arranged in the rooms of the castle for people to appreciate and use. There is no utilitarian thought of using the collections as investments in the hope of appreciation.
