From Friday, 10 May 2013 to Sunday, 06 October 2013 one superb major exhibition will occupy all the exhibition space in the Queen’s Gallery. It will be called “In Fine Style: The Art of Tudor and Stuart Fashion”.
This exhibition explores the sumptuous costume of British monarchs and their court during the 16th and 17th centuries through portraits and drawings, garments, jewellery, accessories and armour in the Royal Collection.

“In Fine Style” follows the changing fashions of the period, demonstrates the spread of styles internationally and shows how clothing could convey important messages. Including works by Hans Holbein the Younger, Nicholas Hilliard, Van Dyck and Peter Lely, the exhibition brings together over 60 paintings,
