Visitors to Buckingham Palace this summer will be able to see almost twice as many paintings in the Picture Gallery following a redisplay of the Royal Collection.
The Picture Gallery, one of the State Rooms open to members of the public during the summer months, now displays 120 paintings, up from 63.
The transformation took 875 hours and included the installation of emerald-green silk wall hangings and new lighting.
Anna Reynolds, surveyor of the King’s pictures, said: “This rehang is an exciting and rare opportunity to significantly increase the number of world-class paintings on display for visitors, in line with our charitable aim to share as much of the Royal Collection as possible.”
