Description

Join the thousands that have discovered the rich splendor of the Queen’s Gallery at the Palace of Holyroodhouse since it was opened by Her Majesty The Queen on 29 November 2002 as part of her Golden Jubilee celebrations. Part of the Palace of Holyroodhouse complex, the art gallery hosts an ever-changing roster of exhibitions. Victoria and Albert: Our Lives in Watercolour April 26–October 3, 2021 Throughout their marriage, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were enthusiastic patrons (and practitioners) of the art of watercolor painting. They formed a collection of thousands of watercolors, many illustrating scenes of their public and private lives, and often spent happy evenings together organizing their acquisitions into albums. This exhibition — including many works being displayed for the first time — marks the bicentenary of the births of both Victoria and Albert. These colorful, dynamic watercolors capture the pomp and spectacle of the British court, foreign travel and diplomacy, the exploration and shaping of a modern nation, and, importantly, the close-knit family at the heart of it all.
