residence. Although in use for the many official
events and receptions held by The Queen, areas of
Buckingham Palace are opened to visitors on a

The State Rooms of the Palace are open to
visitors during the Annual Summer Opening in

with some of the greatest treasures from the Royal
Collection - paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens,
Vermeer, Poussin, Canaletto and Claude; sculpture
by Canova and Chantrey; exquisite examples of
Sèvres porcelain; and some of the finest English
and French furniture in the world.
