Exhibition: Jubilee - St Paul's, the Monarch and the Changing World

June 2022 sees the historic celebration of HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, including a Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral on Friday 3rd June.

To mark this unique event, our exhibition Jubilee: St Paul’s, the Monarch and the Changing World explores the grand ceremonial occasions held at the Cathedral to commemorate the Royal Jubilees of four British monarchs: George III, Victoria, George V and Elizabeth II.

Throughout its life at the heart of the capital, St Paul’s been a place of national celebration, reflection and commemoration, and the Jubilee Thanksgiving services held here have been some of the most spectacular we have ever hosted.

These Jubilee celebrations weave a thread of continuity through the social, political and technological changes in Britain over the past 200 years, and this fascinating exhibition introduces each monarch, their world, and the important part St Paul’s played in them all.

With a wealth of material from the Cathedral's archives, the exhibition tells stories of 200 years of Jubilees alongside photographs, prints, paintings, and treasures, including vestments used for these magnificent occasions.

This exhibition is included with Cathedral admission and can be found in the Crypt's North aisle.
