Description
On 20 May 1867 Queen Victoria arrived in South Kensington to lay the foundation stone of the Royal Albert Hall.
Although this marked the beginning of the construction work, the architectural and ornamental design of the hall was still in flux.
2017 marks the 150th anniversary of the Hall’s creation.
This display, supported by the Royal Albert Hall, explores the fascinating story of the Hall’s design through a variety of historic models, photographs and casts.
These include a magnificent model of an early proposal for the hall presented to Queen Victoria in 1865, as well as models of alternatives for its external appearance.
