Hampton Court Palace is an icon of English architecture, history and art, home to kings, queens, artists and thinkers since the Tudor times. As a heritage charity, Historic Royal Palaces are custodians of many beautiful buildings. We are always looking for new ways to bring the remarkable sites in our care to visitors who may not be able to see them in person. Collaborating with Google Arts & Culture enables us to do just that. In our most recent project together, we have opened the gates of Hampton Court Palace on Street View, digitised our ceiling and wall paintings collection and published new stories about the palace’s history. The partnership allows us to give people all over the world access to our sites, but crucially, it is also making a substantial contribution to our conservation work. The gigapixel images captured allow us to see some of the precious artworks in our care in more detail than ever before.
