Weaving Courtly Life. Textiles and embroideries from the Royal Collections

The Royal Collections Gallery will host an exhibition from 11 June to 12 October 2026 in the Temporary Exhibition Hall on Floor -3, which presents a set of works, many of which have never been on display before but boast extraordinary craftsmanship and beauty, enabling visitors to discover some of the oldest textiles preserved in the Royal Collections. National Heritage boasts one of the most important textile collections in the world, which is made up of exceptional sets, most of which belonged to or were commissioned by the monarchs. This exhibition will raise awareness not only of the most outstanding ensembles that adorned the rooms and royal bedrooms, but also the workings of the palace departments responsible for their creation and management.
