This room is the Grand Vestibule. Here, Queen Victoria welcomed visitors from all over the world to Windsor Castle. She also used it to display the many gifts she received from across the globe for her Golden Jubilee in 1887.

Today, the room is still one of the first places international guests pass through during a State Visit to Windsor. The case displays have been updated to include objects from the many world cultures represented in the Royal Collection. 

Most were presented as gifts; a small number were obtained in contexts of conflict. However, they are shown here to recognise and celebrate the creative skills of people from across the globe. 

There are works of art from every continent and from every reign from George III to King Charles III. They reflect the many ways the British monarchy has interacted with the wider world: through exploration, travel, diplomacy, collecting, empire, Commonwealth and recent State Visits. 

Each object is a work of art in its own right, showcasing materials, techniques and traditions which are treasured by different cultures around the world.
