The Enchanted Palace

There's a new exhibition at Kensington Palace called 'Enchanted Palace' due to open this weekend which is sure to be a spectacular delight.....

Enchanted Palace is set in the State Apartments of Kensington Palace, where designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Steven Jones, Boudicca and William Tempest have collaborated with theatre company WILDWORKS (from West Cornwall), to create installations that combine modern design with historical artifacts. From forest scenes bathed in eerie blue light, to papier-mache animals and a cabinet of curiosities, the exhibition is hauntingly atmospheric and thoroughly immersive. Whispered voices follow you from room to room and a group of costumed characters wander through the exhibition, making the experience even more surreal

The exhibition exposes the secrets of the Royal Court, through the intertwining narratives of each themed room. This isn't your average historical exhibition, though - the information is implied, rather than explicit.

So if you are in the area, you should check it out...

The Enchanted Palace opens 26 March 2010 at Kensington Palace and runs until June 2012. For information on opening hours and ticket prices, please visit www.hrp.org.uk/kensingtonpalace. Supported by the Members of Historic Royal Palaces.
