Went to Somerset House recently and was blown away by its permanent Gilbert collection. Gilbert was a wealthy LA-based Brit who collected silverware, gold objects and pietre dure (pictures made from precious stone and minerals) and left it all to the country 2-3 years ago. I had heard it was world class but I’m not really into this type of thing and only saw it when I went to the chess. But it is stupendous. Definitely set some time aside!
