The Edwardians: Age of Elegance
- This event is in the past
Every Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday (11 Apr 2025 - 23 Nov 2025)
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 are 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.
