The
Queen's Gallery is a permanent space dedicated
to display various items from the vast collection held
in trust by The Queen for the nation. The exhibitions
are usually themed and can last between 12 and 18 months.
This gallery was redeveloped nearly 40 years ago
at the suggestion of The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh.
It was originally built out of the ruins of the former
private chapel, which was destroyed by a German bomb
in 1940.
The Royal Collection comprises of priceless works
of art and they are world renowned as a major art
collection. Despite this it is neither a museum nor
a gallery.
Over the past two years The Queens Gallery has been
redeveloped and this has resulted in a three-fold
increase in display space. During this expansion a
multimedia room has been added with computer kiosks
that provide information about items currently on
display.
It is worth noting that you could also visit The
Buckingham Palace depending on what time of year it
is. The palace is OFFEN to the public between August
and September. If you time your visit you could also
see the Changing Of Guards, which usually takes place
at 11.30am at the forecourt of The Buckingham Palace.
