To commemorate the 125th anniversary of the end of Queen Victoria’s reign, take a closer look at an object in the Wallace Collection associated with one of the longest ruling monarchs.

Explore a portrait of the teenage Queen Victoria by English-born American artist Thomas Sully, and reflect on his vivid journal descriptions of the young monarch. Admire a majestic wardrobe by André-Charles Boulle and discover how, with Queen Victoria’s influence, it came to the Wallace Collection. Glimpse Eugène Lami’s London: the State Opening of Parliament, a watercolour alive with ceremony and crowds, and find the Queen in her coach.
