Buckingham Palace’s Picture Gallery reopens following a once-in-a-generation refurbishment that updates both the display and the gallery’s appearance. Multiple outlets report that the gallery now features a new colour scheme, replacing the previous scheme introduced in 1976. The transformation includes walls painted in a vivid emerald green, creating a different backdrop for the collection. In addition to changes to the gallery design, the revamp expands the number of paintings shown to the public. The Independent reports that the reopening includes 57 more paintings than before, and that the gallery displays a total of 120 works. Across the coverage, the refurbishment is described as a substantial refresh intended to present a larger selection of masterpieces while modernising the presentation of existing holdings. The galleries are presented as newly arranged for visitors, with the changes affecting both curatorial display and the overall visual setting inside the rooms.
