Nice paintings (including some masters like Eurich and Turner) - mostly portraits and maritime scenes - not surprising since most of the paintings are from the National Maritime Museum. Was hoping that some of the rooms at least would contain some furniture but none of them do. It is more or less a museum for paintings....but interesting nonetheless.
A beautiful house that's been converted to an art gallery. The paintings are very impressive and the building itself is very well built. The path for visitors is a bit confusing but its not a serious issue.
New tour added - the dark history and haunted tour, which sold out quickly. It’s after hours and the small group of visitors are the only people in the House with a few staff. The tour guide was Sophie who is a regular guide at the Queens House and has great knowledge about the history of the building and the art work The tour priced ticket includes a drink on the balcony at the end of the tour which is usually not accessible and you get a view of the Royal Observatory on the hilltop
We came unfortunately just at the closing hours. But even the little we saw made the visit special. We will gladly return to explore. Free entry makes this a perfect place to explore a beautiful historical building and arts. Update 2 months after the above: I've finally had the opportunity to visit and explore the whole building. Beautiful.
The Queen’s House in Greenwich is a stunning example of classical architecture and was built in the early 17th century. It features the famous Tulip Staircase and houses an impressive art collection. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, it offers visitors a peaceful and inspiring experience steeped in royal history. The house is part of the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a must-visit for art lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
Amazing, amazing, amazing! The experience was incredible, that we could enjoy the art works devoted to the kings and queens in their rooms. Imaging how they’d meticulously scrutinise the portraits, the paintings in the era without photography. Impressive, very impressive. Come and take the tour. Worth the time.
Really enjoyed my visit to the Queen’s house. It is free which makes it perfect for a visit while on a day out in Greenwich. You don’t need much time here but it is worth a visit, there is a very nice collection of art.
An amazing place that was absolutely packed when we visited. Given that it's free I'm sure that was also the appeal. Filled with a vast collection of paintings and naval history, and for someone not especially interested in seamen it was still a joy to experience. We booked tickets ahead but people seemed to be entering on the day itself without a reservation, but given that they are free tickets it's no harm in booking ahead!
Must visit museum - not busy on a Saturday afternoon. We made a reservation for four but in the end they didn’t check our tickets at the entrance. They basically let visitors in. Very interesting collection of paintings. As well as the well known tulip stairs at the very end of the trip.
Lovely gallery at the Queen's House in Greenwich. I always feel so humbled compared to great artists in history. Many portraits of the royals and friends of the Court, but also a lot of naval inspired motives. I quite liked the modern inspired selection the gallery also offered with an interesting point of view in the current society we live in.
