Description
The Kings Gallery in Edinburgh is located at the entrance to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and was built in the shell of a former church and school dating from the 1840s. The project to MAKE an art gallery that would complement the original 19th-century architecture began in 1999, and The Kings Gallery was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in November 2002 as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations. Today the Gallery hosts a programme of changing exhibitions from the Royal Collection.
See changing exhibitions from the Royal Collection, featuring old master paintings, rare furniture, decorative arts and images from the vast photograph collection.
Royal Portraits: A Century of Photography - 28 February - 7 September 2025
Milestone photographic portraits of the Royal Family will be featured in this exhibition at The King’s Gallery in Edinburgh. Following a successful run in London, the exhibition will chart the evolution of royal portrait photography from the 1920s to the present day, bringing together more than 90 photographic prints, proofs and documents from the Royal Collection and the Royal Archives. Visitors will see photographs taken to mark milestone birthdays of members of the Royal Family and glamourous vintage prints from the first half of the 20th century, many of which will be shown in Scotland for the first time, taken by some of the most respected photographers of the era.
Discover works from the most celebrated royal photographers, from Cecil Beaton and Norman Parkinson to Annie Leibovitz and Rankin. Explore some of the close relationships between royal sitters and photographers, seen most clearly through the lens of Antony Armstrong-Jones (later Lord Snowdon), who married Princess Margaret in 1960.

So glad we booked this. The guide flagged where it was worth stopping for photos. The entry To The King's Gallery lived up to it. I would recommend it without hesitation.

Muy bueno
Buena opción para conocer Edimburgo. Si lo comparás con hacerlo por tu cuenta, conviene. Salió todo en horario, sin sobresaltos. Lo único mejorable fue la espera al inicio, arrancamos unos veinte minutos tarde. Igual lo volvería a hacer.

Muy recomendable
Se pasó volando y nos quedamos con ganas de más. Muy buen guía, atento con todo el grupo y con paciencia infinita. The Kingâs Gallery fue una sorpresa, no estaba en nuestros planes.

Se pasó volando y nos quedamos con ganas de más. Lo de entrada a la Galería del Rey es un acierto. Comparé precios antes de reservar y esta era la opción más conveniente. Volveríamos a contratarlo.

Impecable, no le encuentro un pero. No te podés perder The Kingâs Gallery. Todo fluyó sin demoras ni esperas largas. Una experiencia que vale cada minuto.

Nos gustó
Estuvo bueno, con altibajos. El entrada a la Galería del Rey vale por sí solo. La organización se notó, cero improvisación. En hora pico el tránsito estira bastante el recorrido. Se puede mejorar, pero no me arrepiento de haberlo hecho.
