The rooms have been restored to the original Kent interiors, as
over time, they were altered by the various Grace and Favour
residents in the nineteenth century.
The Cumberland Art Gallery is a permanent addition to Hampton Court
Palace. It will allow for visitors to view the art from The Royal
Collection in more depth.
The initial installation is a variety of master works from the
Royal Collection. It includes pieces by Holbein, Van Dyck,
Canaletto and Rembrandt.
The Royal Collection is one of the greatest and most significant
art collections in the world. It is held in trust by the Sovereign
for their successors and the nation.
It is not owned by the Queen as a private individual. The Royal
Collection Trust, part of the Royal Household, oversees the
administration; care and presentation of the Collection without
public funding.
