Treasures of the Royal Courts
on display at the V&A
07/03/2013
London’s V&A museum is about to host
its “Treasures of the Royal Courts” exhibition, showcasing
the majesty of the courts of Henry VIII to Ivan the
Terrible.
More than 150 objects are on display,
celebrating 500 years of exchange between Britain and
Russia. From royal portraits, jewellery and luxury goods to
processional armour and heraldry, Treasures of the Royal
Courts chronicles the close relationship between the English
monarchy and the Russian Tsars.
At the heart of the exhibition is the
beautiful English and French silver given to the Tsars by
the British royal family, on exclusive loan from the Moscow
Kremlin Museums. Other items include Shakespeare’s First
Folio and the legendary ruby studded Drake Star. The
exhibition lasts from March until 14 July 2013.
This is sure to be a fascinating
exhibition and well worth seeing if you’re staying in one of
our
London bed and breakfasts this year.
