The Favourite, Blenheim Palace

24,000 visitors in the first weekend isn't bad! Our Blenheim Palace exhibition reveals the story behind the foundation of the UK's largest non-royal palace.

The exhibition opens with the Queen's reward to the Duke of Marlborough for his victory at the battle of Blenheim. Visitors move through the family's tempestuous relationships with royalty, their money worries and exile. Think Olivia Colman and Rachel Weisz in the 'The Favourite'. Bold environmental graphics, historic objects, and atmospheric soundscapes immerse visitors in the unfolding drama. The exhibition ends with the monumental achievement of finishing the palace.
