At the Royal Pavilion you'll encounter one of Britain’s most eccentric and extravagant palaces. Once home to George IV, William IV and Queen Victoria, it was built as George IV’s pleasure palace and has been restored to its original 1823 splendour. Outside, the building shows bold Indian architecture; inside, richly decorated rooms take their inspiration from China, creating a striking contrast between exterior and interior.
New for 2025, the COLOUR exhibition invites you to explore the Pavilion’s vibrant world of colour. As you move through the famous rooms, you'll encounter a celebration of tones ranging from bold historic hues to calmer, peaceful palettes, all set within the Pavilion’s stunning interiors. Along the way you’ll see how colour was used in decoration and design, and how it contributes to the building’s unique blend of beauty and history.
