The doors of Buckingham Palace have been thrown wide again for just a few weeks. There is nothing nicer than taking a peek inside beautiful homes and this one also features a new exhibition every year. 

This year's special exhibition celebrates the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria's (and Albert's) birth. Queen Victoria's Palace tells the story of how the young queen transformed Buckingham Palace from a private house into a working royal palace and a powerful symbol of the British Monarchy, as well as a family home for their nine children.

Artefacts of Victoria’s reign on display include: a military jacket, which Albert convinced her to have made; Victoria’s Collar of the Order of the Bath; and the dazzling Star of the Order of the Bath, created with gold, silver, diamonds, rubies, emeralds and enamel. Also in the exhibition is the magnificent ball dress which indicates her majesty's petite stature.
