I can’t wait to visit the King’s Gallery’s during my next trip to London. The curators always manage to put on a unique exhibition that is guaranteed to be one of the highlights of my travels.
Very interesting. I would like to see the current Portraits exhibit but I won’t be visiting London until December. Hopefully there will be another interesting exhibit on view.
Yes, our next exhibition is Drawing the Italian Renaissance, this opens in November so will be on when you visit in December. More information is here: www.rct.uk/collection/exhibitions/drawing-the-italian-renaissance/the-kings-gallery-buckingham-palace
