Queen's House, Art museum in Greenwich Park, United Kingdom
The Queen's House features white classical architecture with symmetrical rooms, grand staircases, and marble floors throughout its multiple exhibition spaces.
King James I commissioned the Queen's House in 1616 as a gift for Queen Anne of Denmark, marking the first classical building structure in England.
The building contains significant art pieces including maritime paintings, royal portraits, and the renowned Armada Portrait of Elizabeth I from 1588.
The museum welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering free admission and guided tours through its art collections and historic rooms.
The Great Hall ceiling displays a geometrical pattern with mathematical precision, creating an optical effect that extends through the entire square room.
