The Queen’s Gallery has now become The King’s Gallery and will open this spring with the exhibition Style & Society: Dressing the Georgians.
Following a successful run in London, this exciting exhibition explores what the Georgian’s wore, from the practical dress of laundry maids to the glittering gowns worn at court.
Discover what fashion can tell us about life in 18th-century Britain. Delve into the Georgians’ style story and get up close to magnificent paintings, prints and drawings by artists including Gainsborough, Zoffany and Hogarth, as well as luxurious textiles, sparkling jewellery, and a range of accessories from snuff boxes to swords.
We’re proud to introduce a new scheme of £1 tickets for anyone receiving Universal Credit and other named benefits at The King’s Gallery in 2024. The scheme has been set up to ensure that as many people as possible can access and enjoy the Collection.
Explore the extraordinary story of David Rizzio in this conversation event with Palace Curator, Emma Stead, and Dr Emanuela Patti, Lecturer in Italian at the University of Edinburgh. Learn about the infamous tale and step inside the rooms where dramatic events took place.
This is an exciting opportunity for students in arts, heritage and culture. Join Collection Care stewards for an interactive afternoon of talks, workshops, activities and group discussions.
Mary, Queen of Scots is one of the most famous monarchs to have lived at the Palace of Holyroodhouse. During a visit to the Palace you can step inside Mary, Queen of Scots’ chambers and see this extremely skilled embroidered panel of a ginger cat and a mouse, created by the queen. It has been suggested that Mary was alluding to herself as the mouse and Elizabeth I as the cat.
This beautiful range of Chelsea porcelain has been created with a design closely derived from the large royal collection of botanical porcelain acquired over a long period by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
The income from your ticket contributes directly to The Royal Collection Trust, a registered charity. The aims of The Royal Collection Trust are the care and conservation of the Royal Collection, and the promotion of access and enjoyment through exhibitions, publications, loans and educational activities.
