General manager Hayley Gaisford-Gotto said: "Charles Wade had a great sense of fun and theatre and took delight in creating a stage for all his objects.

"He enjoyed sharing his home and collection, and the stories that they held, with his friends and family and that is the ethos we continue when we welcome visitors."
