'The Edwardians: Age of Elegance' exhibition @ the Kings Art Gallery

Come along on Sunday 1st June to visit a new exhibition at the Kings Art Gallery (formerly the Queens Art Gallery) on 'The Edwardians: Age of Elegance'.

About the exhibition
Explore the opulence and glamour of the Edwardian age through the lives and tastes of two of Britain’s most fashionable royal couples – King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, and King George V and Queen Mary – from their family lives and personal collecting to their glittering social circles and spectacular royal events.

More than 300 objects from the Royal Collection will be on display – almost half for the first time – including works by the most renowned contemporary artists of the period, including Carl Fabergé, Frederic Leighton, Edward Burne-Jones, Rosa Bonheur, John Singer Sargent and William Morris.

The exhibition covers the period from Edward and Alexandra's wedding in 1863 up to the end of the First World War in 1918.

The visit should last about 2 hours. The visit is self-guiding using the audio guides provided.
