This spring, independent charity Historic Royal Palaces will transform Hampton Court's Baroque Palace with a special exhibition full of intrigue, drama and surprise - at its heart will be six magnificent, royal beds. For the first time ever the world's largest and rarest collection of early state beds will be presented in one dramatic display which tells the story of how and why the bedchamber became the most public and important destination in the Palace. The exhibition will also offer a chance to view architect John Vanbrugh's Prince of Wales's Apartments - opened for the first time in 20 years.
