The Veste Coburg Art Collections are showing their extensive collection of objects related to Queen Victoria’s Prince Consort in a virtual exhibition.

“Prince Consort Albert, England and Europe” is now online on bavarikon, the Internet portal of the Free State of Bavaria for the presentation of art, culture and science treasures, at bavarikon.de.

In six subject areas, visitors will find detailed information and zoomable images about his origins, the marriage policy of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Prince Albert and his wife, Queen Victoria, his family and work, Coburg and, lastly, his memory and his succession.

The numerous objects in the Veste Coburg Art Collections, most of them former ducal possessions, are proof of the close relations between Coburg and the European courts in the nineteenth century.

bavarikon provides global free admission to a wide range of cultural assets. bavarikon is part of the Bavarian state government’s Bayern Digital II funding programme and has been online since 2013.
