About

See artwork commissioned for the Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla in 2023, on public display for the first time.

This free exhibition displays work by eight leading artists, commissioned to offer their own take on the Coronation’s significance to them and their communities.

Working in paint, pencil, photography, appliqué and thread, each artist offered a fresh perspective of this momentous occasion. You can get a sneak peek at some of these below, or to find out more about the artists and their works, visit The Coronation Commissions page on the Government Art Collection website.

Alongside the art there is a rare chance to see two Coronation Rolls from The National Archives’ collection– the earliest surviving roll made for Edward II in 1308 and King Charles III’s Coronation Roll going on public display for the very first time.

Coronation Rolls mark the sovereign’s accession and their oath to govern according to the customs and laws of the realm, as well as recording details of the ceremony, guests and regalia.
