The conversation will focus on Mr. Levett as a collector of antiquities, coins, arms and armour and artworks from the Renaissance through modern day. Over the course of the last 20 years he has acquired more than 2,500 objects. His collecting 'addiction' led him to amass such a large and diverse collection of world-class antiquities and artworks that he opened his own museum in 2011, the  Mougins Museum of Classical Art , near Cannes in France. Receiving approximately 20,000 visitors per year, the Museum allows Levett to share the collection with the public, and he often collaborates with other arts and higher education institutions.
