What we do

Four principles guide our experts' work

We are responsible for conserving the five historic royal palaces and an amazing historical collection. We put on great shows and encourage people to discover the palaces for themselves. And we have to raise all the money to do it.

Our principles and expertise


Guardianship

We exist for tomorrow, not just for yesterday


Discovery

We encourage people to make their own discoveries


Showmanship

We do everything with panache 


Independence

We have a unique task, and our own point of view
