The King's Gallery in Edinburgh is located at the entrance to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and was built in the shell of a former church and school dating from the 1840s. The project to create an art gallery that would complement the original 19th-century architecture began in 1999, and The King's Gallery was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in November 2002 as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations.
Today the Gallery hosts a programme of changing exhibitions from the Royal Collection.
