The Cumberland Art Gallery houses a changing display of artworks, principally from the Royal Collection, reflecting Hampton Court Palace's long history as a place to see great art. The palace was a royal residence from the early 1500s until the 1730s. This era saw great royal collectors and connoisseurs assemble one of the largest and finest art collections of its kind in the world. After the palace’s life as a royal residence came to an end in the eighteenth century, Hampton Court Palace became a grand art gallery, displaying paintings and treasures for visitors to enjoy. You can see hundreds of artworks from the Royal Collection at the palace today, some of them in their original locations. In the Cumberland Art Gallery, you can marvel at a selection of the Royal Collection’s finest paintings.
