Nash as one of Buckingham Palace鈥檚 three identical conservatories or pavilions in the form of Ionic temples. It was constructed on the south-west corner of the Palace, facing the garden, and was completed in 1831. The conservatory was converted into a private chapel for Queen Victoria in 1843, but destroyed in an air raid in 1940.</p> <p>At the suggestion of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, the ruined chapel was redeveloped as a gallery for the Royal Collection in 1962. </p> </div></div></div><div class="button-and-text"><div class="button-and-text__container"><div class="button-and-text__wrapper"><a class="button-and-text__button" href="https://www.rct.uk/collection/about-the-collection">Find out more about the Royal Collection</a></div></div></div><section class="image-with-caption "><div class="image-with-caption__container "><div class="image-with-caption__wrapper"><div class="image-with-caption__image"><div class="lazyload-wrapper "><div class="lazyload-placeholder"></div></div></div><div class="image-with-caption__caption"><span class="image-with-caption__title">The Private Chapel at Buckingham Palace</span><a class="image-with-caption__copyright-link" href="/copyright" tabindex="0">漏</a></div></div></div></section><div class="wyswyg-text "><div class="wyswyg-text__container "><div class="wyswyg-text__text wyswyg-text__text--full "><h3>Redesigning to mark the Golden Jubilee</h3> <p>In 1997 a competition was held for the appointment of an architect to expand and modernise the Gallery as a celebration of Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee. John Simpson & Partners, the newly appointed project architects' role included creating a new entrance, improving the access, making the gallery spaces more flexible and adding state-of-the-art environmental controls.</p> <p>In the main gallery area, the new design provided much more display space; with the three gallery rooms allowing a variety of combinations for special exhibitions. The Nash Gallery formed the major part of the original gallery of the 1960s, but was entirely rebuilt internally.</p> <h3>The newest addition to Buckingham Palace</h3> <p>The 拢20-million expansion of The Gallery was the most significant addition to Buckingham Palace in 150 years. The project was funded entirely by Royal Collection Trust through public admissions to the official residences and through associated retail activities. The project involved stone masons, wood carvers, craftsmen working in plaster, copper and bronze, joiners, blacksmiths, painters and cabinet-makers.</p> <p>The Gallery (then known as The Queen鈥檚 Gallery) was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in May 2002, as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations.</p> </div></div></div><section class="image-with-caption "><div class="image-with-caption__container
