BUCKINGHAM PALACE STATE ROOMS
Each summer when the Palace is not being used in its official capacity, visitors can enjoy the magnificent State Rooms that provide the setting for ceremonial occasions and official entertaining by members of the Royal Family. The rooms are furnished with many of the greatest treasures from the Royal Collection, including paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens and Van Dyck, sculpture by Canova, exquisite examples of Sèvres porcelain, and some of the finest English and French furniture in the world.
Visitors to the Summer Opening of Buckingham Palace will see the White Drawing Room, perhaps the most beautiful of all the State Rooms with its spectacular crystal chandelier, the Ballroom, where the State Banquet is held on the occasion of a State Visit, and the Throne Room, which was the setting for the official portraits from the Coronation of Their Majesties The King and Queen.
