An immersive new display will open this spring at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton. The historical site, managed by Brighton and Hove Museums, will celebrate the "history, magic, and meaning of colour" with the Colour Exhibition. Launching on March 21, which is International Colour Day, and running until October 19, the exhibition will feature a variety of room installations, art interventions and sensory experiences.
There will also be a range of workshops and activities for all ages. The exhibition will allow visitors to learn about the meanings behind the colours and pigments used in the Pavilion, which was designed by architect John Nash for King George IV in the early 1800s. Alexandra Loske, curator of the Royal Pavilion and colour historian, said: "This exciting exhibition is a celebration of the Royal Pavilion's opulent use of colour, which makes it one of the most unusual and pioneering historic buildings of its time.
"This isn’t a traditional exhibition - it's a new and experimental display that will allow visitors to immerse themselves in the Royal Pavilion's colour schemes and discover not only a kaleidoscope of bold hues and textures but relive some of the awe and excitement that George IV's guest experienced in the 1820s.".
