Opening on 26 March 2012, Kensington Palace will be transformed into an exciting, engaging and inspirational visitor experience, leaving visitors with a richer understanding of the palace’s unique history and telling the fascinating stories of its former royal residents like never before.
Alongside the majestic 18th century State Apartments, which will be brought to life with innovative live performance and new displays from the palace’s Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection, there will be a new permanent exhibition - Victoria Revealed - which explores Queen Victoria's life and reign through her own words.
There will also be new visitor facilities including landscaped public gardens, gift shops, a café, and a £1 million Clore Learning Centre.
