The Queen's Gallery is the UK's leading public art gallery.

It is located inside Buckingham Palace, the London residence of the British royal family.

It was opened in 1962 and is one of the greatest artistic attractions in the whole of Great Britain: numbers in hand, it welcomes about five million visitors.

In 2002 it was renovated and enlarged according to the John Simpson project.

The expansion meant that new rooms were added to the gallery.

The Queen's Gallery houses part of the Royal Collection, which Queen Elizabeth owns but whose works, rather than being kept private, are regularly exhibited in the gallery spaces.

Inside the gallery it is possible to admire, permanently, 240 works, including masterpieces of painting and drawing.

Among the masterpieces in the permanent collection at the Queen's Gallery, there are works by the greatest artists that have ever existed such as: Vermeer, Rembrandt, van Dyck, Rubens, Tiziano and Canaletto.
