Description	Many of you will be going to the QUEEN'S GALLERY to see this exhibition. Please allow time to digest the items in the gallery because they will make us re-think our views of the Queen, often thought of as black and dismal. Her years with Prince Albert were some of the most exciting and exuberant, affecting the world of architecture, painting, sculpture, jewelry, furniture, fresco, dance, music, and fashion. THE GREAT EXHIBITION at Crystal Palace in Hyde Park was a huge success and promoted this new enthusiasm. Prince Albert was the inspiration that made it happen. At this GREAT EXHIBITION, the Maharaja of Travancore exhibited a magnificent ivory throne. The throne drew great attention and excitement. The Queen was particularly enthralled by it and was thrilled when it was given to her as a gift after the EXHIBITION. The Ivory Throne is now the center of the QUEEN'S GALLERY EXHIBITION at Buckingham Palace. Normally, the MAGNIFICENT CHAIR is on display at Windsor Castle for the public to admire and enjoy. As the 19th century moved along, India became the JEWEL IN THE QUEEN'S CROWN. She surrounded herself with her Indian servants and advisors, eventually adding the Indian Durbar Room at Osborne House, designed by Rudyard Kipling's father. After all, the Queen was EMPRESS OF INDIA.
