Henry VIII exhibitions and events
Hampton Court Palace, Henry’s most famous surviving home, is hosting a year-long series of events, exhibitions and activities dedicated to the King called Henry VIII: heads and hearts.
At the Tower of London the Royal Armouries and Historic Royal Palaces have partnered to present Henry VIII: Dressed to Kill, an exhibition of stunning arms and armour made for and worn by the mighty King. Some of these original artefacts have never been on display in the UK. The exhibition is supported by HISTORY.
