Description: | This drawing shows Kensington Palace's State Apartments as used by the newly founded London Museum. Queen Mary took a keen interest in the London Museum and she persuaded King George V that it could 'be accommodated, at least temporarily, in the State Rooms'.
The King and Queen opened the new museum on 21 March 1912, accompanied by Princess Mary and Prince George. Balliol Salmon recorded the event in this drawing, which was reproduced in The Graphic on 30 March.
Seen here with the royal family are London Museum Trustee Lewis Harcourt, talking to the King, and the Keeper of the London Museum, Guy Laking.
London Museum moved to Lancaster House in 1914. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Digital image Museum of London | Subjects: | Leisure Identity and Icons Art and Design | Temporal: | 1912 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
