Beautiful 17th century mansion and royal household, now home to an extensive art collection including the Elizabeth I Armada Portrait
Located next door to the National Maritime Museum this beautiful museum is set of the 3 floors. Unfortunately there was a wedding in the main foyer which restricted access to part of the house, but we were not disappointed with the rest of the rooms. It has an eclectic collection including some modern works which are interspersed with the historic ones. The range of items from paintings and drawings, to sculptures, ceramics, furniture and whole rooms is impressive. A great thing to see in conjunction with the maritime museum and is also free. There is a tiny shop at the entrance but no cafe.
Beautiful former palace with an amazing art collection. Some of the portraits of the Royal family such as Henry VIII and Elizabeth I were very interesting. Others of maritime theme and Greenwich 200 years back. It was an eye opener! And it's free. The Tulip Staircase and The Great Hall is a must see.
One of my favourite palaces in London. Most of the art work is original and the architecture is absolutely stunning. Walk through the corridors of Elizabeth I former residence and enjoy the wonderful views from the windows!
The Queen's House in Greenwich Park is located next to the Greenwich Maritime Museum. The classic building was designed by Inigo Jones who portrait is among the many portrait paintings exhibited in Queen's House. Other exhibits include sculptures, tapestries, seascape painting and models of ships from The 17th century. A highlight for me was the Armada Portrait of Elizabeth I, the Tudor queen. Architecturally there are some interesting ceilings and the stunning Tulip Stairs, spiral staircase. There are talks and tours and a gift shop, and interestingly, entrance is free!
A very grandiose venue with a lot of history in its walls. The staff were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, with great stories to tell about the art on display. There's a very nice walk around the building too, should you choose not to enter. If you host an event here, highly recommend enlisting the services of Clink. They're a purpose driven agency staff that can help with catering, hospitality and more.
Stuffed full of spectacular art, it's free to enter but has a suggested PS donation. You'll need about an hour if you want to just pass through but if you want to properly admire the artwork allow 2-3 hours. We had no wait to enter on a sunny spring Sunday afternoon, there were talks from staff on some of the more prominent paintings.
