The Edwardians: Age of Elegance

Art · The King's Gallery

24 April 2026 – 6 December 2026

The Edwardians: Age of Elegance explores 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, the exhibition documents British royalty from Edward and Alexandra’s wedding in 1863, up to the end of the First World War. The exhibition features works by the most renowned contemporary artists of the period, including Carl Fabergé, Frederic Leighton, Edward Burne-Jones, Rosa Bonheur and John Singer Sargent.
