A Space I Love S3 – The Queen's Staircase at Hampton Court Palace

In this final episode of our A Space I Love Series, we join Deputy Chief Curator Sebastian Edwards in the Queen's staircase at Hampton Court Palace. The stairs are the hub of the palace, and they represent a surprisingly unique space with a lot to say.  Once the main thoroughfare to the queen's private apartments, but largely unused after Henry VIII's time, the grand staircase has remained unchanged since the last monarchs left the palace in the 18th century. To view the Queen's stairs, take our virtual tour with Google Arts & Culture  Take a look at Honthorst's painting of Apollo and Diana.
