The King's touring artists exhibition opens at Buckingham Palace for summer season This summer, visitors to the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace will be able to enjoy a special exhibition called ‘The King’s Touring Artists’, featuring more than 70 works of art from His Majesty’s private collection.Many of these works have never been publicly exhibited before. In the spring of 1985, the then Prince of Wales invited John Ward to accompany the Royal Visit to Italy as the Official Touring Artist at his own expense and asked him to create whatever inspired him. For the next 40 years, the King personally selected and paid for an artist to accompany the Royal delegation on overseas visits, and the itinerary remained largely unchanged. The 42 artists who have served in this capacity will be featured in exhibitions and publications, and have visited 95 countries on 69 tours. Reflecting His Majesty’s long-standing patronage of the arts, the programme offers both experienced and emerging artists the opportunity to undertake unique commissions and spend a period of intensive creative time in the countries they visit. The works on display in the Palace Ballroom, selected by the King from his private collection, will offer a glimpse into the lives of the Royal Family on their tours, capturing the tone, colour and atmosphere of the Royal Family in a way that would be different from photographic documentation. Experience the 19 magnificent palaces of Buckingham Palace hosted by members of the royal family Visit the White Drawing Room, the Concert Hall, and the Throne Room, the designated venue for the King and Queen's coronation ceremonies · Enjoy a variety of snacks at the palace's garden cafe and enjoy the panoramic view of the lake on the lawn △ During the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace, one guard detachment took over from another guard detachment to become the King's Guard, marching from Wellington Barracks to Buckingham Palace to the accompaniment of music. △ In the Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace, visitors can view an ever-changing exhibition of the Royal Collection, which includes works by ancient masters, rare furniture, decorative arts and a large number of photographs. △ The Royal Mews is one of the most prestigious working stables in the world and is home to the Royal Coaches, Windsor Greys and Cleveland Sea Horses. To this day, the Mews is still responsible for the travel of His Majesty the King and other members of the family.
