Enchanted Palace

Kensington Palace - The Enchanted Palace...

This weekend I needed to get a bit more culture into my life as I haven't been to an exhibition in ages and I really wanted to see this one. I think what pulled me in was this amazing artwork and the fantasy and mystery behind it.

You weren't aloud to take pic's which is a shame cos the installations are so weird, but anyway the exhibition is like a quest to name the seven princesses that lived in the palace.
Your given this invitation that has clues and a fold out map - to use when you visit each of the rooms and the princesses name is hidden in the room somewhere.


This the first exhibition i've visited that encouraged user interaction, I found some of the rooms slightly scary - 'The Room of Royal Secrets' - Peter a Feral Child was kept as a pet?? and 'The Room of Lost Children' - Under the table was a child's voice - very creepy.


I really liked the exhibition, but it lacked a bit of information - I supposed it added to the 'I don't understand enchanted/mystery' idea.
