The King’s Gallery at the Palace of Holyroodhouse offers a fascinating cultural day out, showcasing changing exhibitions from the Royal Collection within one of Edinburgh’s most historic royal settings.
Located within the Palace of Holyroodhouse grounds, the gallery presents a programme of temporary exhibitions exploring art, photography, fashion, design and royal history. Displays feature works by internationally renowned artists, rare historic objects and carefully curated themes that offer fresh insight into centuries of royal collecting.
The exhibitions are designed to be accessible and engaging, with clear interpretation and storytelling that helps bring the artworks and historical context to life. Whether you’re interested in fine art, photography, or the lives and interests of the Royal Family, each visit offers something new to discover.
The gallery’s setting beside the Palace and at the foot of the Royal Mile makes it an ideal addition to a city-centre sightseeing day, and its calm, indoor environment is perfect for a relaxed visit away from the crowds. Visitors can explore at their own pace, making it suitable for adults, couples and families with older children.
With regularly changing exhibitions and a prestigious location, The King’s Gallery is a thoughtful, inspiring attraction that rewards repeat visits and offers a deeper look at art and history in a uniquely royal setting.
