Museum for contemporary replicas of the Royal Barge Gloriana.

​

The Royal Barge Gloriana serves to glorify and commemorate the monarchy and the historic office of the Lord Mayor of the City of London. As a contemporary expansion of the Lord Mayor’s Show, the Royal Barge Gloriana will be used for an additional segment where it will be exhibited in Holborn.

 

To display the vessel to the public, it will itself be de-constructed and replicated in order to be exhibited at this annual resting place that will serve as a museum and archive of the individuated elements, displayed in a taxonomic collection (ribs, hull planking, keel, rowlocks, moorings, mouldings, cabin etc.) with the built environment mimicking the qualities of the space represented.
