Victoria: The Queen on Screen

Visit our free exhibition exploring how Queen Victoria has been captured and portrayed on screen.

From Friday 19 April - Sunday 14 July, Mezzanine Gallery

From archive footage of the monarch herself to award-winning fictional portrayals by legendary actors, this exhibition looks at how Queen Victoria has been captured and portrayed on screen since 1896. Whether depicted as young ingénue or grieving widow, a well-rounded character or two-dimensional comic relief, Victoria has become an undisputed icon and a figure around which to navigate changing perspectives on women in power, the monarchy, Britain and its imperial legacy.
