The Queen's Gallery is the main public art gallery of Buckingham Palace, the residence of the British monarch, in London.
It alternately exhibits works of art from the Royal Collection. It has its own access façade and usually exhibits about 450 works, still mainly composed of paintings and drawings.
The gallery forms the most prominent wing, the south wing, of the Palace, with a street entrance / exit on this side, on the site of a bombed-out chapel during World War II.
The gallery opened in 1962; over the next 37 years, receiving 5 million visitors, until it closed for expansion, commissioned by architect John Simpson.
On May 21, 2002, the gallery was reopened by Elizabeth II to coincide with her golden jubilee.
The expansion more than tripled the Doric entrance portico and new rooms. It is open to the public most of the year during the day.
