King George III purchased Buckingham House for his wife in 1761, shortly after which it became known as the 'Queens's House'. He and later monarchs made significant alterations to the building with the help of architectural luminaries John Nash and Edward Blore.

It wasn't until 1837 that a British Sovereign took up residence at, what is now known as, Buckingham Palace. Three weeks after her coronation, Queen Victoria became the first monarch to officially make the Palace her home.

Buckingham Palace is not just the Royal families home, it is a museum, art gallery, and a national treasure that you can visit!

There is an extensive collection of art and antique furniture forming part of the Royal Collection. The Picture Gallery houses George IV's collection of Dutch and Flemish art, along with canvasses by van Dyck, Frans Hals, Canaletto, Steen, Ruebens, Rembrandt, Vermeer and many more significant artists.
