Description

An art gallery situated inside the grounds of Buckingham Palace, The King’s Gallery hosts a programme of changing exhibitions from the Royal Collection, including artisanal artefacts, furniture, artworks and trinkets.

Located in a former chapel bombed in an air raid in 1940, The King’s Gallery was developed in 1962 at the suggestion of Queen Elizabeth II and The Duke of Edinburgh. In 1997 the gallery was extensively modernised and re-opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2002 as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations. Come and marvel at the opulence of the Royal Collection.

Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style (10 April 2026 - 18 October 2026)

To mark the centenary of Queen Elizabeth II’s birth, enjoy a comprehensive exhibition of the late Queen’s fashion. Admire around 200 items – half of which are on display for the first time – and explore the remarkable story of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch told through decades of clothing.
