What to expect
You'll walk through climate-controlled galleries displaying objects pulled from royal storage—everything from gilded chairs to manuscripts to everyday items that humanise historical figures. The guide walks you through contexts: why a particular table mattered, which monarch commissioned a piece, how tastes changed across generations. Expect thoughtful pacing; this isn't a rushed sprint. You'll have room to linger and ask questions without jostling through crowds. The museum itself is modern and well-lit, designed for comfortable viewing.
