Victoria and Albert - Art and Love

Opens: 19/03/2010 Closes: 31/10/2010 Queen's Gallery, London

Think of Queen Victoria and you’re most likely to envisage a dour woman with a downturned mouth. This new exhibition counters that perception and highlights the affection and joy she shared with Prince Albert – particularly through the arts. The exhibition also features a ‘secret’ portrait. Saucy. Kind of. For more information visit: http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/microsites/vanda/index.asp Buy: https://www.rceltickets.com/calendar.asp?PID=21

Financial Times“This collection is a glass through which Victorian England comes alive...” A highlight here is a small gallery showcasing Albert’s acquisitions of Renaissance pictures, by then underrated artists, that hung in his writing room...
