At The King's Gallery, Buckingham Palace, the summer exhibition Royal Portraits: A Century of Photography charts the evolution of royal portrait photography from the 1920s to the present day, revealing the stories behind some of the most celebrated photographs ever taken of the Royal Family.
From November, Drawing the Italian Renaissance will explore the diversity and accomplishment of drawing across Italy during this revolutionary period, through works by artists including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian.
Following a successful run in London, Style & Society: Dressing the Georgians will be the first exhibition to open at The King's Gallery in Edinburgh following its 18-month closure for essential maintenance work.
Exploring life in Georgian Britain through the fashions of the day, it will be the 40th exhibition to be held in the Gallery since it was opened as a space to share a wider variety of works from the Royal Collection in Scotland.
As part of the organisation's charitable aim to ensure that as many people as possible can access and enjoy the Collection, Royal Collection Trust has launched a new scheme of £1 tickets for exhibitions at The King's Galleries in 2024, available to those receiving Universal Credit and other named benefits.
In addition to £1 tickets, The King's Galleries will continue to offer a range of concessionary rates, while visitors who purchase standard tickets directly from Royal Collection Trust can convert them into a 1-Year Pass, allowing free re-entry for 12 months.
Here's what visitors to these fascinating exhibitions can expect to see...
