Royal Gallery Opens
Merteuil
The Queen held a star-studded reception this evening, officially opening The Queen's Gallery in Merteuil.
Costing more than 125 million Coeur, paid for by the SGC, the gallery will house the extensive collection of the Royal Family. Many of their paintings and sculptures are priceless, accumulated over the course of three centuries. But the gallery opened with an exhibition of contempary artist André-Lucien Pothnos, renowned for his abstract work in the 1930s and 40s.
"This is a great occasion for the people, the Nation and, if I may say, the world, to celebrate the achievements of artists yesterday, today and tomorrow," Queen Henrietta Maria said as she addressed the crowd of politicians and figures from the art & culture scene.
The gallery will be opened to the public beginning this Friday.
