Visiting the Royal Collection




 The Royal Collection may be enjoyed in a number of different ways:

  • As part of the historic arrangement of Royal Residences, in the settings for which many of the works were originally acquired or commissioned.

    These include the official residences of The Queen, where the Collection plays an important part in the life of a working palace:
    Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse (administered by the Royal Collection Trust);
    The unoccupied residences - Hampton Court Palace, Kensington Palace (State Apartments), Kew Palace, the Banqueting House, Whitehall and the Tower of London (administered by the Historic Royal Palaces Trust);
    Osborne House (owned and administered by English Heritage). 

    Items from the Collection may also be seen at the private homes of The Queen: Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle.

  • Through exhibitions in the Royal Collection galleries. These comprise the new Queen's Galleries at Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Holyroodhouse; the Drawings Gallery, Windsor Castle; and the Summer Opening of Buckingham Palace.

  • Through travelling exhibitions to museums and galleries around the world.
